Addendum One Appendix A - Cost Sheet.docx

This is a Solicitation Addendum One document issued by the State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Bureau for the High Speed Transport Services for Network Nebraska procurement (Solicitation Number 124043 O5). The addendum, effective December 18, 2025, revises the original Appendix A Cost Sheet to correct latitude and longitude coordinates for Circuit #22 at Stuhr Museum. The electronic bid submission deadline is January 23, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The contract term is four years commencing July 1, 2026, with four optional one-year renewal periods. All new circuits must be operational by the first Friday in August of each service year. The solicitation encompasses high-speed transport services for 294 educational entities across Nebraska, including K-12 school districts, educational service units, public and private colleges, universities, public libraries, and municipalities, with bandwidth options ranging from 100 Mbps to 100,000 Mbps delivered through leased lit fiber circuits with layer-2 Ethernet-based connectivity.

The revised cost sheet serves as the binding pricing document for vendor proposals and replaces the original version distributed with the initial solicitation. Vendors must provide monthly recurring charges, non-recurring charges, and applicable taxes bundled into circuit costs without additional charges for equipment, hardware, installation, cross-connects, or maintenance. All vendors must comply with FCC E-Rate requirements, possess a Service Provider Form 498 I.D.

The state reserves the right to conduct annual technology refresh reviews and may impose liquidated damages for E-Rate eligibility failures. Awards may be made to one or multiple vendors based on the comprehensive cost methodology outlined in the revised cost sheet.
