ATTACHMENT F - Mandatory Requirements Checklist - RFP 758 2600000154 KCNA Wholesale Services.xlsx

This is a Mandatory Requirements Checklist for RFP 758 2600000154 issued by the Kentucky Communications Network Authority (KCNA) for Wholesale Services. Offerors must demonstrate compliance with all seven mandatory requirements by responding affirmatively to each item, as proposals failing to meet any requirement will be deemed non-responsive and rejected from consideration. The vendor shall provide Dark Fiber Services and/or Lit Fiber Services to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to expand broadband throughout the Commonwealth, utilizing KCNA's existing fiber optic cable and telecommunications equipment infrastructure. The checklist specifies that vendors must submit Attachment F with their Technical Proposal.

The mandatory requirements establish specific operational and service delivery parameters for the selected vendor. The vendor must offer non-discriminatory agreements with ISPs, establish non-recurring fees for construction or initial expenses coupled with monthly maintenance charges, rely on KCNA's Wholesale Operations Center (KWOC) for network service provisions, charge transport fees, assume full responsibility for construction and maintenance of any fiber or equipment installed, and comply with the Service Level Agreement specified in Attachment I. These requirements ensure standardized service delivery, fair competition among ISPs, and adherence to KCNA's operational framework.
