Network Modernization Project

The County of Nevada (CA) seeks a qualified vendor or value‑added reseller to supply, license, and deploy a modern enterprise access‑layer switching solution to replace roughly 90 aging switches (range 80‑100) across data‑center, campus, and remote sites. The contract includes hardware, centralized management software, licensing, design, engineering, installation, configuration, testing, post‑deployment validation, training, and one‑year of support, with optional two‑year extensions. The solution must support 802.1X, NAC, dynamic segmentation, PoE for wireless APs, and integrate with existing security infrastructure while providing a single‑pane‑of‑glass management view. The County expects a minimum 7‑year support lifecycle (10 years preferred) and aims to reduce operational burden on its small IT staff. • Replace 80‑100 access switches with future‑ready hardware • Provide centralized management and monitoring • Enable port‑level authentication, NAC, and Zero‑Trust readiness • Deliver design, engineering, and deployment services (critical sites collaborative, remote sites vendor‑performed) • Include training, documentation, and 60‑90 day post‑deployment support • Option to renew contract for up to two additional one‑year periods.
