Attachment B - POP Z End Locations - ISP-R074 Carlock - Scale Eastbound.pdf

This attachment is a supplementary exhibit to an Illinois Department of Information Technology (DoIT) Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Metro Ethernet transport services, specifically detailing the Points of Presence (POP) Z End Locations for the ISP-R074 Carlock - Scale Eastbound project. The document identifies fifteen designated endpoint locations across Illinois where fiber-based point-to-point metro-ethernet connections will terminate. These locations span multiple regions of the state and include major state facilities such as the Central Computing Facility in Springfield, the Michael A Blandich Building in Chicago, the University of Illinois in Champaign, and Southern Illinois University Carbondale, as well as regional education offices, community colleges, and other state agency facilities. The locations are geographically distributed to support wide area network connectivity between agency locations and Illinois Century Network POP sites, serving as the foundation for the service provider's network architecture in fulfilling the last-mile connectivity requirements outlined in the primary solicitation.

No pricing information, contract terms, renewal options, funding sources, or incumbent vendor details are contained within this exhibit. The document serves solely as a reference guide for potential bidders to understand the physical scope and distribution of required service endpoints, enabling vendors to develop accurate proposals for fiber-based metro-ethernet transport services connecting these identified Illinois locations to the designated POP infrastructure.
