About this file
This document is an addendum to Request for Proposals (RFP) 24_025_073 for E-Rate Eligible Wired and Wireless Access Layer Network Solutions issued by Fayette County, Georgia. The RFP seeks proposals for wired and wireless access layer network solutions, including details on required UPS specifications (power rating, runtime, output receptacles, and network connectivity), rack specifications, and existing UPS inventory. The RFP also provides information on the current fiber connectivity between the Main Distribution Frames (MDFs) and Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDFs), specifying the type of fiber (OM4 multimode) and connector types (LC). The awarded vendor will be responsible for post-installation configuration and troubleshooting, as well as integration with the district's ClearPass and Airwave systems. The RFP has an issue date in the week of March 11, 2024, and responses are due before 10:00 AM on Monday, March 25, 2024.
The RFP does not provide specific pricing terms or set-asides, but it does indicate that the district currently uses Eaton 5P2200 and 5P550R UPS units in their core and IDF switches, respectively. The district is looking to replace some older fiber chassis with Aruba fiber switches. The funding for this project likely comes from E-Rate program and the district's technology budget, but the specific amounts and sources are not specified in the addendum.

E-Rate Eligible Wired and Wireless Access Layer Network Solutions Addendum 1
1. Will the District ever consider a Network as a Service model?
a. Not at this time.
2. What input plug type is required?
a. UPS Inputs; 120V default; 89-151 Vac; Frequency 50-60Hz
3. What kVA rating is required for the UPS?
a. MDFs and CORE - 1950VA, 1920W, 120V
b. IDFs - 550 VA, 420W, 120V
4. What type of output receptacles are desired?
a. MDFs - (8) 5-20R
b. IDFs - (5) 5-15R
5. Concerning UPS; is a Network Card desired? The “necessary software and licenses” indicates a NIC, but it also calls out “Installation”.
a. Yes, A NIC would be needed to connect the UPS to the network. We would need all licenses and installation costs in the proposal.
6. What is the desired runtime from the UPS battery?
a. Desired runtime would be between 10 and 20 mins under full load.
7. Can you provide specs for the racks? U Space, enclosed, two/four post?
a. The District uses a combination of different network rack styles throughout the system.
The majority of IDF and MDFs will be two post 45U standing racks. Smaller IDFs without network closets are enclosed in smaller, wall mounted, lockable cabinets in 15U, 12U, and 9U sizes.
b. Four (4) Post standing racks are used in the data center and some IDF/MDFs for camera server and equipment.
8. Can you provide inventory of existing UPSs or provide the quantity and size required for the new UPSs?
a. FCBOE uses Eaton 5P2200 for Core and MDF switches, between 40-50 units.
Specifications can be found at:
https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/skuPage.5P2200RT.specifications.pdf
b. FCBOE uses Eaton 5P550R for select IDFs which support the safety alert system, between 60-80 units. Specifications can be found at:
https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/skuPage.5P550R.pdf
9. How many fiber ports are active on the existing Core switches?
a. Active fiber ports will vary by School:
i. Elementary School MDFs - Between 3-7 active ports
ii. Middle School MDFs - Between 5-12 active ports
iii. High School MDFs - Between 8-15 active ports
10. Please provide required optics for MDF to IDF connectivity. Please provide a type of fiber (single mode / multimode).
a. 1GB SFPs are used for the majority of fiber connections to MDFs and IDFs. There are some fiber chassis that convert copper to fiber used in high schools for connectivity to the IDFs. The current plan is to replace these fiber chassis with Aruba fiber switches with SFP modules.
