Attachment B - POP Z End Locations v1.28.26~2.pdf

This is an attachment listing Points of Presence (POP) Z End Locations for the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology's Metro Ethernet service procurement. The document identifies 15 connection points throughout Illinois where fiber-based metro ethernet transport service will be delivered as part of the MET8 Metro Ethernet solicitation. The locations span multiple regions of the state and include state facilities such as the Central Computing Facility in Springfield, the Michael A Blandic Building in Chicago, regional office centers, and connections at major universities including the University of Illinois, Illinois State University, Northern Illinois University, Eastern Illinois University, and John Wood Community College. Additional connection points are established at the Illinois Century Network facility in Peoria and various Regional Offices of Education and administrative facilities in cities including Rockford, Moline, Normal, Champaign, Charleston, Quincy, Olney, Carbondale, Macomb, Collinsville, and Paris.

This attachment serves as a technical specification document defining the specific geographic endpoints where the Department of Innovation and Technology requires fiber-based Point to Point Metro-Ethernet Transport Service with speeds between 100 MB and 1GB. The listing does not contain pricing information, set-aside terms, award dates, contract duration, or renewal options, as those details are contained in other bid solicitation documents. The identification of these 15 discrete POP Z End Locations establishes the scope of physical service delivery locations that prospective bidders must address in their proposals for the statewide metro ethernet service contract.
