Description

Assumption Parish School District is requesting proposals for a provider-managed leased-lit-fiber wide area network connecting 13 eligible district entities.

Special-construction proposals must include fiber routes and cost breakdowns. The District is also requesting pricing for 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps dedicated Internet access, with a bundled basic firewall solution. Vendors must provide a network architecture and diagram, explain their technical approach, identify applicable equipment, address all specifications, provide pricing and fees on the required forms, and comply with E-Rate billing and service-provider requirements.
