Addendum Two Appendix A - Cost Sheet.docx

This is an addendum to a solicitation issued by the State of Nebraska's Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Bureau for high-speed transport services supporting Network Nebraska, a statewide telecommunications network serving 294 educational entities. Addendum Two, effective December 18, 2025, updates the original Appendix A - Cost Sheet to revise the physical address for Columbus Public Schools. The solicitation (No. 124043 O5) was released on December 18, 2025, with an electronic bid submission deadline of January 23, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The initial contract term is four years, commencing July 1, 2026, with four one-year renewal options available. All new circuits must be operational by the first Friday in August of each service year.

The revised cost sheet serves as the pricing document for calculating total 48-month contract costs using a specific pricing methodology that includes monthly recurring charges, non-recurring charges, and applicable taxes. Vendors must bundle all costs—including equipment, hardware, installation, cross-connects, and maintenance—into circuit costs without additional charges. The procurement encompasses 25 participating entities representing diverse educational institutions, including K-12 school districts, educational service units, public and private colleges, universities, public libraries, and municipalities. Bandwidth options range from 100 Mbps to 100,000 Mbps, with vendors required to maintain 99.99% uptime, maximum 15-millisecond latency, and 24-hour trouble response. Awards may be made to one or multiple vendors, and the state reserves the right to conduct annual technology refresh reviews and may impose liquidated damages for E-Rate eligibility failures.
