26_34 E_RATE Wireless Pre_Bid Meeting Zoom L.doc

This is a pre-bid meeting invitation document for Jones County Schools System (JCSS) in Georgia related to an E-Rate Wireless contract opportunity. The pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 1, 2025, at 11:30 AM Eastern Time via Zoom, hosted by Raymond Braziel. JCSS is requesting proposals for wireless access point equipment to replace all current access points on a one-for-one basis. The project scope includes uninstall of existing access points, installation of new equipment, and transportation of removed access points to the Technology office. Installation must occur when students are not present. Bidders are required to submit a detailed project plan that includes lead time for hardware procurement, installation timeline, and assigned staff, along with documentation of prior similar projects, experience with K-12 entities, and any previous work completed for Jones County Schools.

Pricing will be structured by location with separate line items for E-Rate eligible and ineligible locations. The contract represents a replacement initiative for existing wireless infrastructure, indicating an established technology environment within the school system. Funding is derived from E-Rate sources, which are federal Universal Service Fund discounts available to schools and libraries for telecommunications and technology services. Bidders should be prepared to discuss their qualifications, project management approach, and cost structure at the pre-bid meeting.
