Description

Caruthers Unified School District seeks proposals for a point-to-point fiber WAN connection between the Fresno County Office and Monroe Elementary School, with pricing for 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps service. Proposals must include recurring service costs, any router or modem lease fees, installation or construction charges, taxes and surcharges, and clearly identified ineligible costs. The network must be operational by August 27, 2027, and vendors must provide endpoint equipment, UPS protection for at least 30 minutes, service and outage notifications, help desk and repair support, escalation procedures, and certification reports for CIR, jitter, latency, and interface errors. Vendors must also provide their SPIN and support the E-Rate SPI and BEAR billing methods. The RFB requests pricing for 12-month, 36-month, and 60-month terms, with the 12-month term ending June 30, 2028, and the longer terms ending June 30, 2030, and June 30, 2032, respectively. The district may also consider proposals that include eligible maintenance or managed broadband elements, but is not seeking those as standalone solutions. The attached RFB contains an Appendix A pricing sheet to be completed for each term and bandwidth tier.
