RFI 2120758154 Dark Fiber Services

The Los Angeles Unified School District is conducting an informal market‑research RFI to gauge interest and gather technical, commercial, and risk‑management information from firms capable of delivering a district‑wide dark‑fiber network in a dense urban environment. Respondents are asked to submit a letter of interest, a point‑of‑contact, and detailed answers to a set of questions covering capability, design feasibility, construction risk, service levels, pricing models, and contract structures. No commitment to award a contract is made; the District will absorb all respondent costs. • Scope: Exploration of large‑scale dark‑fiber deployment across Los Angeles‑Long Beach‑Santa Ana region. • Deliverables: Letter of interest, capability statement, and responses to 14 targeted questions. • Key focus areas: market capability, network design feasibility, construction & schedule risk, service‑level expectations, commercial pricing structures (lease vs. IRU), and risk allocation.
