Description
The Twin Rivers Unified School District is soliciting proposals for a Data Transport Service for a multi-year contract. The contract will provide Data Transport Services for the district's students, with a bandwidth level of 1 Gbps and the option to upgrade to 10 Gbps. The contract will have a term of five years, with the option for two annual extensions. The district is seeking a qualified contractor to provide the service, and the contractor must meet certain requirements, including being in compliance with all current and future requirements issued by the SLD. The contractor must also provide a valid SPIN, submit the annual Service Provider Annual Certification form, and provide evidence of FCC Green Light Status. The district reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, and the evaluation criteria will include the responder's cost, extent of experience with the district, implementation timeline, service level agreement, and quote preparation. Some key points to consider are:
* The district operates a “hub and spoke” network topology.
* All sites listed must have the option to upgrade bandwidth incrementally as needed during the term of the contract.
* All sites listed must have the option to downgrade bandwidth as needed during the term of the contract.
* The contract start date will be July 1, 2026.
* The district will only be responsible for paying its non-discounted share of costs.
* The service provider must comply with the FCC rules for Lowest Corresponding Price.
* The service provider must retain all records for at least ten years from the last date of service provided.
