Intrepid Fiber Project

Project Overview

Intrepid Fiber Networks is bringing fiber-to-the-home network to our community. As part of the approval process, Intrepid Fiber's proposal was carefully reviewed by City staff, including the City Attorney, to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal laws. Telecommunications providers have the right to occupy and utilize the public right-of-ways within the City based on these state and federal laws.  
 
Intrepid Fiber has successfully completed similar projects in other municipalities, such as Pueblo, Northglenn, Westminster, and Littleton. The City reviewed references and documentation prior to the approval to ensure the company’s capacity to deliver on its commitments.
 
The contractor is only allowed to do work in the City owned right-of-way and not on private property (unless permission is given by the property owner). On most local streets, the right-of way limits are 2.5 feet behind the back of sidewalk.  The contractor is allowed to work within these 2.5 feet to install their conduit and fiber lines. Upon construction completion they are also required to restore any disturbed areas to existing conditions or better. 
 
Part of the process including calling in utility locates before any construction begins. 

Staff meets with the construction team for Intrepid on a bi-weekly basis to discuss construction progress and make sure all work is being done accordance with our permit requirements and regulations.
 
Here are the links to the City Council meetings where the revocable license was approved:

Residents can expect construction in public right-of-ways: 7 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday with minimal impact on holidays, weekends, and after hours. Intrepid's goal is to minimize disruption to the public and travel way. Door hangers will be placed 72 hours prior to active construction, and sign boards will be placed at neighborhood entrances.
