About this file
This RFQ Supplemental Instructions document issued by the Illinois Department of Information Technology concerns a Metro Ethernet point-to-point fiber transport service solicitation for the Department of Transportation's Hardin Bridge location in Hardin, Illinois. The project involves delivering fiber-based Metro Ethernet connectivity from the Wheelhouse on the Hardin Bridge (321 N Park Street, Hardin, IL 62047) to any Illinois Century Network Point of Presence location, with service terminating on vendor-provided switching equipment. The vendor must deliver fully operable service by October 31, 2026. Quotes are due July 30, 2026, with electronic submission required through BidBuy. The contract will span fifteen designated ICN POP sites across Illinois, and award will be determined based on total cost of ownership calculated as the monthly recurring charge multiplied by the service term plus non-recurring installation costs per site location.
All pricing must be comprehensive and final, with no additional taxes, fees, surcharges, or pass-through charges of any kind permitted after award. Bidders must complete each option line item for additional bandwidth tiers to be considered responsive, though option line items will not influence award determination except in cases of a tie. The Small Business Set-Aside Program has been waived, as no qualified small businesses in Illinois are capable of providing Metro Ethernet transport service; a previous related solicitation closed on March 5, 2026, with no qualifying quotes received. Service must be delivered as fiber-based metro ethernet only, with copper, wireless, and satellite services explicitly prohibited. The Hardin site requires 100 megabytes of bandwidth with 99.98% availability or better based on a 30-day average and continuous 24/7/365 operation. The estimated contract value is $45,000. If the bidder has a contract with DoIT within the past twelve months, the negotiated terms and conditions from that contract shall apply to this solicitation without further negotiation.
