Dubuque City Council members have selected a contractor to install fiber optic conduit along a portion of Asbury Road. The council voted, 7-0, to award a $226,000 construction contract to TD&I Cable Maintenance. The company’s low bid was 5.8% below the engineer’s estimate for the project. The project is part of the city’s initiative to collaborate with private partners to help reduce the time and cost of expanding broadband in Dubuque. The Asbury Road project is a joint effort with Interstate Power and Light Co. and Alliant Energy as part of the utility’s effort to link its facilities in Iowa and Wisconsin with broadband fiber.
