Description

Harris County Department of Education seeks a fully managed leased lit-fiber internet access service, with bandwidth options of 2, 3, 4, and 5 Gbps. The service is to terminate at North Post Oak for district locations to share. Bids should include installation and initial configuration, maintenance and technical support, bandwidth scalability during the contract term, and voluntary extension options unless the service is month-to-month. Proposers should separate eligible and non-eligible costs and identify any contingency fees or special-construction charges. The solicitation requests 3- or 5-year contract options; contracts are contingent on funding unless otherwise agreed by the district. The addendum clarifies that the service is to terminate only at North Post Oak, resolving a discrepancy in the vendor attachment. Proposals must be submitted through the associated RFP system, and the solicitation requires completion of the attached vendor pricing form. The evaluation considers price, fit with school needs, service quality, prior relationship, long-term cost, and vendor reputation.
