QUESTIONS:
Oral Questions
1. Q. In section 1 prices, /29 subnet is supposed to be 6 usable addresses for base and all option years?
A. An amendment to the solicitation is attached to correct the error.
2. Q. What type of equipment is accepted? Are we allowed to install our own routers?
A. We expect that vendors will need to install CPE at the service locations to terminate their service and hand off to our systems. Refer to Section 1, I – A1.1 Handoff (and B1.1, C1.1) or II –B Customer Premises Equipment (CPE).
3. Q. Does the vendor need to provide redundant (Eg: active/passive) CPE?
A. We do not have any specific requirements for CPE redundancy. The Vendor should design their CPE configuration, in their judgement, to support the SLA required for each circuit type, and maintain sufficient spares to meet the response and repair windows detailed in the SLA.
4. Q. Does the vendor need to provide dynamic routing?
A. We do not have a requirement for dynamic routing at the customer handoff – and the Embassy equipment will not be running any routing protocols exposed to the vendor.
Internal to its own network, we expect the Vendor will have a well-established network architecture to meet the failover and SLA required for each circuit, but the technical details of that are outside the scope of this RFP.
5. Q. Regarding Billing – Can a vendor bid in one currency and be paid in another currency? For example, bids in United States Dollars and is paid in Kwacha?
A. No. Refer to section 1, 2.2, the offeror shall identify currency in their offers which will be the payable currency after award of the contract.
