This is Addendum No. 3 to an RFP issued by the Red Clay Consolidated School District in Delaware for the purchase and installation of wireless access points. The addendum, dated January 20, 2026, clarifies pricing and procurement responsibilities for the project. Prospective bidders must submit electronic proposals by January 27, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with public opening at the same time. The district seeks to procure up to 720 HPE Juniper AP45 access points (or equivalent) with seven-year licenses and support, along with installation services across multiple schools. The contract will be effective through June 30, 2027, with an option for one additional year of renewal subject to mutual agreement.

The addendum specifies that pricing must not be broken down into separate options for access points only, labor only, or combined pricing, but rather must be provided as bundled unit pricing for the HPE Juniper AP45 access point with seven-year license and support as a single line item, plus a separate installation price. The school district will provide all access points after purchasing, receiving, and preparing them, clarifying that vendors are not responsible for supplying the equipment itself. The project is contingent upon receiving eRate Category II funding for the 2026 filing year. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: cost (40%), experience in government and K-12 locations (15%), authorized reseller status (25%), and warranty repair and replacement procedures (20%). Contractors must maintain general liability and professional liability insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 and provide a Certificate of Insurance prior to commencing work. No bid deposit or performance bond is required.
