This is an Addendum No. 1 document issued by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Procurement Office that revises the timeline for solicitation DOT-ITB-26-9052-SJ for 10 Gbps Ethernet managed services. The procurement requires competitive sealed bids for the provision of two discrete 10 Gbps circuits establishing point-to-point broadband connectivity between three Florida locations: Jacksonville FHP Tower, District 5 Regional Transportation Management Center in Sanford, and District 6 RTMC in Miami. Circuit 1 must be operational by June 15, 2026, and Circuit 2 by October 15, 2026, each with three-year initial service terms and an option to renew for an additional 36 months. The revised timeline establishes a deadline of March 9, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST for technical questions, with sealed bids due March 24, 2026, at 9:00 AM EST. Public bid opening is scheduled for March 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST at the FDOT Central Procurement Office, and the posting of intended decision and award is scheduled for March 30, 2026. Prospective bidders may request site visits to survey the three locations to determine installation scope.

All bidders must be registered in Florida's MyFloridaMarketplace system prior to bid opening and must acknowledge receipt of this Addendum No. 1 by the bid opening date to avoid disqualification. Qualified bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of active engagement providing similar services and submit a written qualifications statement. Bidders are required to submit firm non-recurring costs for construction and installation and monthly recurring costs for service, with pricing applicable to both the initial 36-month term and any renewal periods. The Service Level Agreement requires 99.9% overall service availability measured monthly, network latency of 45 milliseconds or less, and frame delivery rates of 99.999% or greater, with service credits up to 50% of monthly recurring costs for outages exceeding 43.2 minutes. All payments are subject to a one percent MyFloridaMarketplace transaction fee, with invoices subject to a five-working-day inspection period following receipt and approval of services. The contract is contingent upon annual legislative appropriations, and no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement notice.
