About this file
This is an addendum to a request for proposals issued by the School District of Manatee County, Florida (SDMC) for Internal Connections District E-Rate Equipment serving new sites throughout the district. The addendum revises key procurement timeline elements: the proposal submission deadline has been extended to November 13, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with electronic submission required through VendorLink at www.myvendorlink.com. The evaluation of proposals is scheduled for November 19, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. at 215 Manatee Avenue West, Bradenton, Florida in Room 406, during which bids will be evaluated and contractor selection will occur. The addendum completely replaces Attachment A with Attachment A1 regarding the Internal Connections District E-Rate Equipment specifications. The procurement is contingent upon FCC E-rate program regulations, requiring bidders to be USAC-approved and qualified firms capable of providing internal connections equipment solutions for the district's locations.
The addendum does not contain specific pricing information, funding amounts, or other financial terms beyond noting that the project falls under the FCC's E-rate program, which provides discounts for telecommunications and information services to eligible schools and libraries through Universal Service Fund allocations. The evaluation meeting timeline is subject to change, with potential delays of two weeks or more if additional time is needed for bid evaluation and contractor selection. The district notes that failure to file a protest within the timeframe prescribed in Section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, or failure to post required bonds within the allowed period shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes.
