About this opportunity
Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech) is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ #25-RFQ-016) for Broadband Internet Service Provider (ISP) services across multiple counties and jurisdictions in Washington state. The procurement seeks ISP vendors capable of providing broadband services with specific bandwidth requirements, including sites requiring 50Mb upload/100Mb download and 100Mb upload/100Mb download capabilities. Vendors must have a signed Master Services Agreement (MSA) and Broadband ISP Technical Addendum with WaTech to participate in the solicitation. The evaluation criteria will be comprehensive, utilizing a scoring system that allocates 10% to timeline points and 90% to cost points, with cost calculations based on a formula of Non-Recurring Costs (NRC) plus 36 times Monthly Recurring Costs (MRC). Key procurement dates include a pre-proposal conference on December 6, 2024, via Microsoft Teams, proposal responses due by December 12, 2024, announcement of the Apparently Successful Vendor on December 19, 2024, and the earliest potential Statement of Work issuance date of December 27, 2024.
The RFQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendor pricing will constitute a firm offer for 90 days following the announcement of the Apparently Successful Vendor, with potential extension to 180 days if mutually agreed upon. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement allows for site-by-site evaluation and pricing, suggesting flexibility in contract value. The solicitation covers an extensive list of jurisdictions, including counties such as Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, as well as numerous cities and census-designated places throughout Washington state. Contractors must submit pricing through a detailed Cost Model that separates Monthly Recurring Costs and Non-Recurring Costs, with instructions to exclude taxes from pricing submissions. WaTech reserves the right to request "best and final offers" in the event of exact scoring ties, indicating a competitive and thorough selection process.
