Coffee Fiber Connections FY26

The Coffee County School System is seeking proposals to provide 10 Gbps fiber optic connectivity to connect multiple on-campus facilities to the district local area network (LAN). Proposals may be submitted for E-Rate Category One Dark Fiber services to support a self-provisioned network and/or Leased Lit Fiber services. The project includes the installation of fiber optic cable on school campus property, including any required eligible special construction, with fiber buried or otherwise protected as required and terminated at district-designated demarcation points or switch cabinets. Key considerations include cost effectiveness, adequacy of response to the RFP, previous business relationships, references, and local or in-state vendor status. • The project requires a turnkey buildout of network fiber connections to facilities on two school campus locations. • The district seeks fiber optics to connect structures within the stadium to the main stadium switches and LAN. • The project may be started earlier than July 1, 2026, however invoicing may not occur prior to July 1, 2026. • The district prefers to use SPI invoicing, however is open to BEAR invoicing if the project can be completed and certified complete prior to July 1, 2026.
