Addendum Two Appendix A - Cost Sheet.docx

This is a Solicitation Addendum Two document issued by the State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Bureau for High-Speed Transport Services for Network Nebraska (Solicitation Number 124043 O5). The addendum, effective December 18, 2025, replaces the original Appendix A – Cost Sheet and serves to update the physical address for Columbus Public Schools. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to provide leased lit fiber circuits with Ethernet-based, layer-2 high-speed data connectivity to 294 educational entities across Nebraska, linking participating institutions to seven core aggregation points. Bandwidth options range from 100 Mbps to higher capacities, with service delivery commencing July 1, 2026. The electronic bid submission deadline is January 23, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The initial contract term is four years with four one-year renewal options, and all new circuits must be operational by the first Friday in August of each service year.

Vendors must comply with FCC E-Rate requirements, possess a Service Provider Form 498 I.D. (SPIN), and guarantee service level commitments of 99.99% uptime, maximum 15-millisecond latency, and 24-hour trouble response. All costs including equipment, hardware, installation, cross-connects, and maintenance must be bundled into circuit costs without additional charges. 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 total 48-month costs calculated through monthly recurring charges, non-recurring charges, and applicable taxes. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the comprehensive cost sheet suggests significant potential across the 25 participating entities with bandwidth options ranging from 200 Mbps to 100,000 Mbps.
