This is a Cost Model Evaluation spreadsheet (26-RFQ-001-Appendix-A-Cost-Model.xlsx) for WaTech's Wireline Ethernet or Fixed Wireless Services solicitation. The document outlines a procurement opportunity for telecommunications services across multiple state facilities in Washington, with two specific sites detailed: an example site at 1500 Lincoln Ave SW in Olympia and a DSHS (Department of Social and Health Services) site at 1651 S Market Blvd in Chehalis. The solicitation seeks vendors to provide network connectivity services, with specific requirements including installation intervals, bandwidth options (10M and 100M), and detailed site-specific installation instructions.

The cost model incorporates a scoring mechanism that evaluates vendors across multiple dimensions, including timeline points, cost points, and local loop type (with preferences for fiber at 40 points, wireless at 20 points, and copper at 10 points). Vendors must provide monthly recurring costs (MRC) and non-recurring costs (NRC) for different bandwidth levels. Special mandatory requirements include specific installation details, such as extended handoff specifications, proximity to existing infrastructure, and potential future upgrade capabilities. The solicitation requires vendors to have both an NSA (likely a Network Services Agreement) and applicable addenda on file to participate, with a focus on precise technical and logistical requirements for network service deployment at state facilities.
