About this file
This is Addendum #1 to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Genesee Intermediate School District for GenNET WAN Equipment Upgrade. The addendum, dated December 20, 2018, addresses vendor questions received during the pre-bid meeting on December 19, 2018 and via email. The bid due date remains January 16, 2019 at 2:00 p.m.
The addendum provides critical infrastructure details, including that approximately 14 miles of mostly non-armored fiber is underground. A performance bond is required but a bid bond is not. The district is already a MISSDIG member. The vendor will be responsible for maintaining as-built documentation in DWG format, including splice tracking. For fiber within the Windstream backbone, the vendor must coordinate repairs with Windstream. The insurance deductible is $1,000. Vendors must provide itemized costs for labor and equipment, though exact incident counts are unknown. The scope includes replacing fiber that no longer meets specifications, such as cable with multiple splices causing line loss or inability to operate at 10g speeds.

Provide updates as changes happen to the network and keep track of splices on as-builts.
