Description

McKinney Independent School District seeks proposals for E-Rate-eligible Category 1 connectivity, including leased dark and lit fiber, self-provisioned network construction, wide area network transport, dedicated internet access, and services over third-party networks. Proposals may cover one or more service requests and must address the specified bandwidth, service-level, scalability, demarcation, and E-Rate program requirements. The scope also includes network maintenance and operations, network electronics where proposed, and installation, testing, and commissioning; services must be operational by July 1, 2027. Responders must provide pricing using the applicable pricing spreadsheets, a technical proposal and quote, financial-capacity information, at least three customer references, and the required forms, certifications, and questionnaire responses. The RFP requests 120-month pricing for certain network and maintenance options and offers shorter term options for WAN and internet services. The district may require performance and payment bonds for construction-related awards; insurance proof is required before work begins, with a conditional proposal-stage certificate requirement for proposers providing services on district property.
