Description

The State of Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) is seeking competitive bids to provide fiber‑based point‑to‑point Metro‑Ethernet transport services (100 Mbps‑1 Gbps) for multiple agency sites across Illinois. The work includes monthly recurring transport fees, one‑time installation charges, optional special‑construction services, and required compliance documentation (vendor disclosures, BEP utilization plan, and signed contract). Awards will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per‑site basis, with an 11 % BEP goal for any special‑construction items. The contract term is six years with the possibility to extend to ten years, and prices must remain firm for 180 days.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

No definitive contract ceiling is disclosed, but a typical state‑wide fiber‑Ethernet contract of this scope (multiple sites, 6‑year term, monthly recurring fees plus installation) often ranges from several hundred thousand dollars to low‑single‑digit millions. Assuming an average of 10 sites, each with a monthly transport cost of $5,000 and a one‑time installation cost of $20,000, the 6‑year total would be roughly $3.6 M. Factoring possible lower bandwidth tiers and competitive pricing, the likely award value could fall between $500,000 and $2,000,000.
