About this file

This document is an Addendum to Invitation for Bid (IFB) S000000033 issued by the Arkansas Department of Transformation and Shared Services Office of State Procurement. The addendum makes changes to the specifications for Ethernet service from state parks to state aggregation sites. The awards for this Ethernet service will be made by address based on the lowest average cost per Mbps over 48 months. Contractors must bid all required speeds from their aggregation location to at least one state aggregation site, but are encouraged to bid to more than one. The initial contract term is 4 years, with the option to renew for up to 3 additional 1-year terms.

The addendum also revises the section on the initial contract term, changing it from an initial 4-year term to the potential for a total aggregate contract term of up to 7 consecutive years. Additionally, the Official Bid Price Sheet has been revised as part of this addendum.

CHANGE OF SPECIFICATIONS

• Delete Section 1.16.A. and replace with the following: The awards for Ethernet service from the parks site to the State aggregation site will be awarded by address based on the lowest average cost over 48 months. If a Contractor bids service to a park address, the Contractor shall provide pricing for all bandwidths associated with that address on Price Sheet Table 3 and Price Sheet Table 5 (unless already awarded the connectivity from the contractor aggregation site to the State aggregation site from bid SP-20-0060). The awardee for each address will be determined based on the lowest average cost per Mbps for that address over 48 months. The Contractor shall bid all required speeds from the Contractor aggregation location to at least one State aggregation site on Table 5 but are encouraged to bid to more than one State aggregation site. If the Contractor bids to more than one State aggregation site on Table 5, the State aggregation site with the lowest average cost per Mbps will be used to determine low cost.

• Delete Section 2.1.C. and replace with the following: The initial term of a resulting contract will be for four (4) years. Upon mutual agreement by the Contractor and Department, the contract may be renewed by TSS OSP for up to three (3) additional one-year terms or portions thereof, not to exceed a total aggregate contract term of seven (7) consecutive years.

• Delete Official Bid Price Sheet and replace with Official Bid Price Sheet REVISED.
