The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is soliciting competitive sealed bids for 10 Gbps Ethernet managed services to establish point-to-point broadband connectivity between three Florida locations: Jacksonville FHP Tower, District 5 Regional Transportation Management Center (RTMC) in Sanford, and District 6 RTMC in Miami. The procurement requires the provision of two discrete circuits with guaranteed bidirectional throughput of 10 Gb/s via 10GBASE-SR Ethernet interfaces, with Circuit 1 operational by June 15, 2026, and Circuit 2 operational by October 15, 2026, each with corresponding three-year initial service terms. Bidders must submit firm non-recurring costs (NRC) for construction and installation and monthly recurring costs (MRC) for service, with pricing applicable to both the initial 36-month term and any renewal periods. The contract includes a Service Level Agreement (SLA) requiring 99.9% overall service availability measured monthly, network latency of 45 milliseconds or less, and frame delivery rates of 99.999% or greater, with service credits up to 50% of monthly recurring costs for outages exceeding 43.2 minutes. Qualified bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of active engagement providing similar services and submit a written qualifications statement. Technical questions are due March 9, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST, with sealed bids due March 24, 2026, at 9:00 AM EST, followed by a public bid opening at 10:00 AM EST the same day; the intended award is scheduled for posting on March 30, 2026. Prospective bidders may request site visits to survey the three locations to determine installation scope.
All bidders must be registered in the State of Florida's MyFloridaMarketplace system by bid opening or risk rejection as non-responsive, and out-of-state corporations, limited liability companies, and limited partnerships must be authorized to do business in Florida prior to award. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, small businesses, or other protected classifications are mentioned in the solicitation documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available materials, and no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement notice. The solicitation requires all payments to be subject to a one percent MyFloridaMarketplace transaction fee, with invoices subject to a five-working-day inspection period following receipt and approval of goods and services. The contract is contingent upon annual legislative appropriations and includes an option to renew for an additional 36 months subject to mutual agreement, satisfactory performance, and fund availability.
