Graves County School District seeks a high-speed Wide Area Network solution connecting six remote campuses to Graves County High School. Proposals may offer vendor-managed lit fiber, vendor-owned and maintained dark fiber managed by the district, or another high-speed technology meeting the requirements.

The RFP specifies technical, availability, repair, compatibility, and service-support requirements, including dedicated connectivity for each remote site. Responses must identify the proposed service type and include a technical approach, implementation timeline, anticipated fiber-route maps, service and support details, itemized one-time and recurring costs, and a sample contract covering the initial term and renewal options.
