Description

North Putnam Community School Corporation seeks symmetrical internet access at its head-end, scalable from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps, with guaranteed throughput and at least 30 public IPv4 addresses. The proposal should include laddered bandwidth pricing, any additional address pricing, service-provider-owned handoff equipment, network pathway details, and a proposed SLA covering availability, packet loss, latency, jitter, support, and repair commitments. The district also seeks fully managed, leased lit WAN connectivity between the head-end and five school or administrative sites. Bidders must provide separate pricing for each site at 1, 2, 5, and 10 Gbps, describe the network topology, transmission medium, handoffs, and required active network devices, and allow service-tier changes during the contract. Responses must include service descriptions and construction timelines, complete recurring and nonrecurring pricing, a proposed SLA, three similar-service references, the bidder’s E-Rate SPIN number, and a ready-to-execute or sample contract. The district is considering three- or five-year terms, among other proposed terms.
