The City of Ocala has approved a five-year Pole Attachment Agreement with BellSouth Telecommunications, LLC, doing business as AT&T Florida. This agreement sets the terms for AT&T Florida to attach its telecommunications equipment to utility poles owned by the City of Ocala. The agreement is planned and has been approved by the City Council. This project will involve the installation and maintenance of telecommunications equipment on existing city utility poles. Work may include site surveys, equipment installation, and ongoing maintenance. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in telecommunications infrastructure, electrical services, and related fields may find opportunities. Engaging early before specific installation plans are finalized could provide a competitive advantage.
