26_32 Internet Circuit COST WORKSHEET.xls

This is an E-Rate 2026 Internet Circuit Cost Worksheet for the Jefferson County Schools System (JCSS), establishing pricing requirements for broadband connectivity services. The worksheet requests vendor quotes for 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) Internet circuits to be provided at two locations: JCSS Technology Office and JCSS Data Center. Vendors must submit separate pricing for installation costs and recurring service costs organized by location. The solicitation includes contract term options of one year, three years, and five years for the data center circuit, allowing the school system to evaluate costs across multiple commitment periods.

The cost worksheet structure requires vendors to clearly delineate service costs from installation costs for accurate budget analysis and E-Rate funding calculations. The template indicates this is part of the E-Rate program, a federal funding initiative that supports broadband access for schools and libraries, suggesting that pricing submissions must meet E-Rate compliance requirements. Vendors responding to this worksheet must provide competitive pricing across the specified locations and contract terms to enable JCSS to select the most cost-effective option while meeting its technology infrastructure needs.
