1. Establish the package
Confirm project geography, owner standards, disciplines, quantities, deliverables and the required milestones.
2. Coordinate the dependencies
Align field data, utility and permitting status, property access, facility requirements and the engineering/construction interfaces.
3. Deliver and reconcile
Track drawing issues, reviewer responses, field changes, progress and the closeout records required by your contract.
Questions from awardees and prime contractors
Who can engage Odiscom for a BEAD project?
BEAD award recipients, broadband providers, engineering firms, prime contractors and construction partners can engage Odiscom for a defined engineering or delivery scope.
What is Odiscom’s role in a BEAD-funded buildout?
Odiscom LLC provides A&E, site acquisition, permitting coordination and construction-phase technical services. Odiscom Construction LLC provides separately contracted construction services. The awarded provider retains responsibility for its grant and program obligations.
Can you help with ILA huts, POPs and equipment sites?
Yes. We scope facility engineering alongside the fiber route and deployment plan. ILA, POP and shelter requirements depend on the network architecture; each facility’s role and requirements are established with the network owner.
What should we provide to start a review?
Send the awarded project area or assigned work package, route maps or KMZ, owner standards, field data, quantities, required deliverables, permitting status and target milestones.
Bring your BEAD deployment package to Odiscom.
Share the assigned scope, project area and schedule. Our team will help define the engineering and construction handoffs.
