About this file
This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) Supplemental Instructions document from the Illinois Department of Information Technology (DoIT) and the Department of Human Services (DHS) for Metro Ethernet point-to-point transport service. The solicitation, identified as DHS-R034 Chester, seeks fiber-based last-mile wide area network connectivity between the DHS facility located at 1315 Lehmen Drive, Chester, Illinois 62233, and an Illinois Century Network Point of Presence site. The service must be provided exclusively through fiber optic metro ethernet technology; copper and wireless services are explicitly unacceptable. Bidders are responsible for identifying the appropriate Z-end location ICN POP and delivering service inside the building to the DoIT-designated telecom room at both the A and Z end locations, with service terminating on vendor-provided equipment. The RFQ requires bidders to submit all pricing through the BidBuy electronic system and to complete cost proposals for all OPTION line items representing additional bandwidth tiers; failure to include all OPTION pricing will render a bid non-responsive.
Award will be determined based on total cost of ownership, calculated as the monthly recurring charge multiplied by the service term plus the non-recurring installation costs per site location. All pricing must be all-inclusive and final, with no additional taxes, fees, surcharges, or pass-through charges permitted after award, including regulatory recovery fees, universal service fees, or telecommunications-related surcharges. Option line items will not factor into the award decision except in cases of tied bids but may be utilized during the service term at the agency's discretion if bandwidth requirements change. If a bidder has executed a contract with DoIT within the previous twelve months for a similar product or service, the negotiated terms and conditions from that existing contract will automatically apply to this solicitation and resulting award without further negotiation.
