Are these packages discounted?

These are scope packages, not price promotions. Every project is quoted on its own conditions: footage, soil, crossings, permits, restoration and schedule. Combining services can reduce duplicated mobilization and coordination, and any saving that results shows up in the bid itself rather than as a percentage off a list price. There are no coupon codes, seasonal sales or expiring offers on this page.

Can I change what is included in a bundle?

Yes. Each bundle is a starting point. Services can be added, such as handhole placement or extra conduit verification, or removed when another contractor or your own crew already covers them. The bid lists exactly what is in scope, so there is no question later about whether an item was part of the package.

Do I need a finished design before asking for a package?

No, though a design gives the most accurate bid. A route map and approximate footage are enough to start the conversation, and a firm bid follows once engineering is done. The Full Outside Plant Starter Package assumes the design comes from you or your engineer, and Strilla builds to it.

Which package fits a new fiber service area?

The Full Outside Plant Starter Package fits operators building backbone and distribution in a new area, because it covers underground and aerial placement through splicing and closeout. If the route is mostly underground, the Directional Drilling + Conduit Package is often enough. For mostly aerial routes on existing poles, start with the Aerial Fiber Build Bundle.

Can I set up emergency response before I need it?

Yes, and it is the better way to do it. Sharing route maps, splice records and site contacts ahead of storm season means the crew knows the plant before the first call. Emergency restoration is available 24/7, emergency calls are answered directly, and mobilization is coordinated on the call whether or not a package is already in place.

Are packages available outside Volusia County?

Yes. Every package is available across the service area: Volusia County first, with active coverage in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake and Polk Counties. Larger programs elsewhere in Florida are scoped case by case. Permitting differs by county, city and FDOT district, so tell us the location early and the bid will reflect the right authority.

Packages

Bundled service packages

Related services contracted together, so the seams between them are ours to manage rather than yours.

Strilla offers six bundled service packages that combine related outside plant work under one scope: directional drilling with conduit, aerial fiber builds, full outside plant starter packages, drilling with enhanced closeout, emergency response with restoration, and maintenance with locate support.

These are scope packages, not price promotions. Every project is quoted on its own conditions. What a package buys you is a single contract, a single point of contact and no handoff between two contractors halfway down the route.

Directional Drilling + Conduit Package

Bore path planning, horizontal directional drilling and HDPE conduit placement delivered in one mobilization, with the duct proved and tracer wire installed before we leave.

This package covers the underground path from bore plan to proved duct. We walk the route, review existing utility locates, set entry and exit pits, and plan bore depth and offsets against the profile the design calls for. Crews run the pilot shot, ream as the soil and duct package require, and pull conduit in the same operation so the path is never open longer than it needs to be. Florida soils change quickly, moving from loose sand to hardpan or limerock within a short distance, so bore path and drilling fluid decisions are made in the field by the crew that owns the rig. Multi duct runs, tracer wire and conduit verification are handled in the same visit rather than scheduled as a return trip. You get a proved duct with tracer wire installed, disturbed surfaces restored, and as-built information tied to real field measurements, ready for a fiber crew to blow or pull without a second discovery effort. Where the route crosses a state road, a county road and a city street in the same run, each permit holder's depth and restoration conditions are built into the bore plan before the first rod goes in. If the pilot bore finds an unmarked utility or ground the plan did not expect, you hear about it that day with photos and a proposed adjustment, not at closeout.

Includes

Route walk, locate review and bore path planning
Entry and exit pit setup with traffic control coordination
Pilot bore, reaming and pullback sized to the duct package
HDPE conduit placement, single duct or multi duct
Tracer wire installation and conduit proofing
Restoration of disturbed pavement, driveway and turf surfaces
As-built markup of bore depth, offsets and duct counts

Best for

ISPs and general contractors that have a design in hand and need the underground path built and proved in one mobilization. Fits road crossings, driveway crossings and backbone segments where open cut is not permitted or not practical.

Aerial Fiber Build Bundle

Make ready support, messenger strand installation and strand and lash placement of new or overlashed fiber on existing pole lines.

This bundle covers aerial route construction from make ready support through placed and lashed fiber. Crews frame poles, install messenger strand at the tension and clearance the pole owner requires, and lash new cable or overlash existing plant where strand and pole loading allow it. Where make ready is still open, we support the process with field verification, photos and measurements your engineer and the pole owner can act on, then sequence construction around the poles that clear first. Storm exposure drives real choices on the Florida coast, so attachment hardware, sag and clearance over roadways and driveways are checked against the design rather than eyeballed in the bucket. Aerial and underground crews work for the same company, so a route that transitions to a riser and a bore does not turn into a scheduling handoff between two contractors. Daily production reporting shows progress pole by pole and flags any structure that needs engineering attention before it stalls the build. Clearances are measured against NESC requirements and the pole owner's attachment standards, and any pole that needs a transfer, a new anchor or a change-out is reported with a photo and a pole number rather than worked around. The handoff to splicing is planned from the start: slack loops, coil locations and enclosure positions follow the design, so the splice crew does not have to rework the span to find usable fiber.

Includes

Make ready support with field verification and photo documentation
Messenger strand installation at specified tension and clearance
Strand and lash placement of new fiber cable
Overlash of existing plant where loading allows
Riser and transition points into underground segments
Daily production reporting by pole and span

Best for

ISP construction managers and OSP engineers building or extending aerial distribution on existing pole lines. Fits routes where make ready is still in progress and the schedule depends on building cleared poles first.

Full Outside Plant Starter Package

One contractor carrying backbone and distribution plant from underground and aerial placement through splicing, termination and a documented closeout.

This package is for an operator entering a new service area and needing one contractor to carry the plant from backbone to distribution. Scope is built around the design you provide: underground segments by directional drilling, aerial segments by strand and lash, handhole and vault placement at splice and access points, conduit and fiber placement, then splicing and termination so the route can be tested and turned over. Because equipment and crews are owned rather than brokered, aerial and underground work can run in parallel or in sequence without renegotiating a subcontract every time the schedule moves. Permitting and right of way requirements differ between Volusia County, its cities and the state road system, so those steps are planned into the sequence instead of discovered mid build. Closeout is collected as the work happens, not reconstructed at the end: as-builts, splice records, test results and daily production reporting handed over as a single package. The point of one contractor is fewer seams. When the boring crew, the aerial crew and the splicers answer to the same project lead, a duct that lands in the wrong place or a span that runs short gets fixed the same week rather than argued over between vendors. Phasing can follow your service launch plan, with backbone and the first distribution areas built and documented first, so subscribers can be connected while later phases are still under construction.

Includes

Backbone and distribution construction from your design
Directional drilling and conduit placement for underground segments
Aerial placement on existing pole lines
Handhole and vault placement at splice and access points
Fiber placement by blowing or pulling, then splicing and termination
Permit coordination for county, municipal and state right of way
As-built documentation and closeout package

Best for

ISPs and municipal broadband programs starting a build in a new Florida service area. Fits owners who would rather hold one contractor accountable for the whole plant than coordinate separate aerial, underground and splice vendors.

Drill + Closeout Bundle

Directional drilling paired with the bore records, daily reporting and as-built package that permit review and future locate requests depend on.

This bundle pairs directional drilling with the record set most projects end up fighting over after the crew leaves. The drilling scope is the same work we do on any bore: locate review, bore path planning, pilot shot, reaming, pullback and restoration of the surfaces we disturb. What is added is a closeout built while the bore is happening. Bore profiles record depth at station, crossings of foreign utilities are noted with measured clearance, duct counts and colors are recorded at each termination, and handhole positions are captured for the as-built. Daily production reporting goes out while the work is fresh, so a discrepancy gets resolved in the field instead of in a meeting three weeks later. The result is a package your engineer can review, your locate contractor can work from and your inspector can accept without a second site visit. It fits anywhere a permit, a joint trench agreement or a municipal engineer requires proof of what was installed and where. Bore depth is read from the locating system as the pilot bore advances and recorded at regular stations, so the profile reflects what happened in the ground rather than what the plan intended. Records follow the format your owner or agency asks for, whether that is a marked up plan set, a spreadsheet of stations and depths or files ready for GIS. When the same corridor is opened again years later, that record is what keeps the next crew off your duct.

Includes

Bore path planning and utility locate review
Pilot bore, reaming and pullback with conduit placement
Bore profile records showing depth at station
Measured clearances documented at foreign utility crossings
Daily production reporting during construction
As-built drawings and closeout package delivery

Best for

Project managers and municipal engineers who need bore records that hold up in permit review and in future locate requests. Fits work in dedicated right of way, joint trench corridors and jurisdictions with strict closeout requirements.

Emergency Response + Restoration Package

Rapid mobilization for cuts, outages and storm damage, covering fault locating, temporary restoration and permanent repair of aerial and underground plant.

This package covers unplanned work: a cut fiber, a storm damaged aerial span, a contractor strike on a duct bank. Response starts with locating the fault and defining the damage, then a decision between temporary restoration to get traffic moving and permanent repair to return the plant to design condition. Both usually happen, in that order. Crews carry aerial and underground capability, so a failure that begins at a pole and ends inside a bore does not wait on a second contractor to mobilize. Being based in New Smyrna Beach with owned equipment shortens the time between the call and boots on the damage, which matters most after a named storm when regional resources are already committed elsewhere. Repairs are documented the same way new construction is: what failed, what was installed, splice records and updated as-built information. That record matters when the same route is worked again, and when a claim or a joint use dispute follows the outage. During normal hours the office takes the call. After hours, emergency restoration is available 24/7, and emergency calls are answered directly, with mobilization coordinated on the call. Operators can set this package up before storm season, sharing route maps, splice records and site contacts in advance, so that when a call comes in the crew already knows the plant it is walking into and where the nearest access points are.

Includes

Rapid mobilization for outage and storm events
Fault locating and damage assessment
Temporary restoration to return service
Permanent repair of aerial and underground plant
Fusion splicing and splice enclosure replacement
Updated as-built and splice records after repair

Best for

Network operations managers and ISPs that want a Florida contractor already positioned when a cut or a storm takes plant down. Fits operators without in house restoration crews, and those whose crews are committed elsewhere during a regional event.

Maintenance + Locate Support Bundle

Scheduled inspection and corrective repair of in service plant, combined with locate ticket support and tracer wire repair on existing routes.

This bundle is ongoing support for plant that is already built and carrying traffic. Scope covers scheduled inspection of aerial spans and underground access points, handhole and vault condition checks, enclosure maintenance, and correction of the small problems that become outages later: a loose lashing, a broken ground, a flooded handhole, a duct path with no usable tracer signal. Locate support is included, which matters in Volusia County where growth means someone is always digging near your route. Damaged tracer wire gets repaired, missing marks get chased, and paths that no longer trace get reproved so your ticket response is defensible. Visits are scheduled around your operations rather than dropped in, and each one produces a report showing what was inspected, what was corrected and what should be planned. Over time that record shows which parts of the plant are aging and where capital belongs before a failure decides for you. Inspection intervals are set with you based on the age and exposure of the plant, with coastal aerial spans and low lying handholes usually checked more often than newer inland routes. Findings are ranked by risk, so a cracked enclosure in a flood prone handhole is fixed now while cosmetic items are planned for a later visit. Locate support follows Florida Statute Chapter 556 timelines, which helps keep your positive responses to Sunshine 811 tickets on time.

Includes

Scheduled inspection of aerial spans and underground access points
Handhole, vault and enclosure condition checks
Tracer wire repair and duct path reproving
Locate ticket support and mark verification
Corrective repair of defects found during inspection
Written report after each maintenance visit

Best for

ISPs and municipal network owners responsible for plant they do not have crews to maintain. Fits operators facing rising locate ticket volume and aging plant in growing Volusia County corridors.

How does a bundled package work?

A package is a starting scope, not a fixed product. You pick the bundle closest to your project, and the bid is written around your design, footage, crossings, permit conditions and schedule. Items that do not apply come out, and items the route needs go in. The price reflects the actual work, the same way a single service bid does.

What changes is who owns the gaps. On a split contract, the drilling contractor hands a duct to the fiber contractor, and any problem at that handoff becomes a dispute about whose work caused it. Under a bundle, one company carries the work on both sides of the handoff, so the fix is a scheduling decision rather than a change order.

One contract and one point of contact for every service in the bundle
One schedule, with crews sequenced by the same project lead
Daily production reporting that covers every crew on the route
One closeout package instead of separate records from each vendor

When is a single service the better fit?

A bundle is the wrong choice when you already have a trusted contractor for part of the scope, or when the work is a single, contained task. One road crossing, one splice point or one damaged span is better quoted as that service alone. Owners with in house splicing crews often contract only the underground or aerial build and keep the rest.

If you are not sure which way to go, send the scope through the bid form and say so. The reply will recommend either a bundle or individual services based on what the route actually needs, and explain why.
