Attachment B - POP Z End Locations Chester.pdf

This document is an attachment to a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the Illinois Department of Information Technology (DoIT) for fiber-based point-to-point metro-ethernet transport services serving Chester, Illinois. The attachment specifies the end locations and points of presence (POP) for the proposed wide area network (WAN) connectivity project, which aims to provide last-mile fiber service connecting agency locations to Illinois Century Network (ICN) POP sites. The document establishes the geographic parameters and technical endpoints that vendors must service as part of their proposals, detailing the specific Chester-area locations that require metro-ethernet transport connectivity to enable statewide network integration.

The attachment functions as a technical specification document that supports the RFQ's procurement objectives by clearly defining service delivery boundaries and endpoint requirements. By establishing the precise end locations and POP sites in the Chester area, this attachment ensures that all bidders have consistent understanding of the project scope and can accurately price their fiber-based transport services. This specification is critical for vendors to assess infrastructure requirements, determine service feasibility, and prepare compliant bids for the metro-ethernet transport service offering.
