Description

Springboro Community City Schools is seeking proposals for connectivity between its district hub and five eligible school sites. Vendors may propose fully managed leased lit fiber service, scalable from 10 Gbps to 25 Gbps with service-level commitments, or leased dark fiber consisting of four strands to each site. Proposals should address applicable construction and recurring costs, maintenance and operations, service levels, implementation timelines, network diagrams, demarcation, references, and Connect America Fund status as applicable. Dark fiber proposals must include ongoing maintenance, with 24/7 coverage and a two-hour response to reported malfunctions. The district is also seeking network equipment, including wireless access points, switches, and uninterruptible power supplies/battery backups. Equipment must be new and include a three-year manufacturer warranty. Proposed alternatives must be documented as equivalent and compatible with the existing network. Bidders must identify manufacturer, part number or SKU, unit cost, E-Rate-eligible cost percentage, and provide a SPIN or evidence of an application for one, as well as proof of authorized reseller status. The RFP requests a five-year proposal for lit service and pricing that accounts for bandwidth increases during the contract term.
