Description

Shaker Heights City School District is soliciting a new bid for Category 2 internal-connection equipment and installation. The addendum confirms that the pricing attachment controls equipment quantities, including 28 48-port switches and one 24-port switch, and requires patch cords for Woodbury with specified six-inch lengths and color assignments: black for data, yellow for security, green for wireless, and orange for building automation. Woodbury has six network closets. The scope includes switches, wireless access points, racks, cabling, antennas and related components, UPS/battery-backup equipment, software and licenses, configuration, and related installation work. Access-point installation is not required; the District will provide configuration templates, and existing equipment removal and disposal will be handled by the District. The District requires Central licensing for all new equipment for five years at the Foundation tier. New switches must interoperate with the existing Cisco 9500 core using OSPF, which will remain in place. The District is not requesting basic maintenance or Managed Internal Broadband Services at this time. The addendum states that Form 470 #270000853 supersedes Form 470 #270000002 and that a new bid must be submitted.
