About this opportunity

The Flagler County Board of County Commissioners is seeking proposals for E-Rate Internet Service for the Flagler County Public Library system through RFP #25-RFP-028. The procurement targets internet service for two library locations: the Palm Coast Main Library and the Bunnell Branch Library, with a contract term from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. Currently, the libraries have Spectrum fiber optic connections, with the main library receiving 500Mbps synchronous service and the branch library receiving 200Mbps synchronous service. Proposers must have a valid Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN) and provide internet service compliant with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). The RFP requires vendors to provide pricing for synchronous speed increments ranging from 500Mbps to 10Gbps, including installation costs and publicly addressable IP addresses. Vendors must offer troubleshooting service within four hours during normal library hours and be responsible for all service and maintenance of internet connections. The evaluation will utilize a weighted scoring system: cost (35%), technical approach (20%), project management (20%), service and maintenance plan (15%), and project team qualifications (10%). Proposals are due by January 30, 2025, at 2:00 pm.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The current infrastructure consists of Spectrum fiber optic connections, which will require seamless integration with the new service provider's technology. While no specific award value or budget range is directly stated, the RFP suggests a comprehensive telecommunications service procurement with potential multi-year implications. The insurance requirements for the contract are extensive, including Workers Compensation ($1,000,000 statutory coverage), General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate), and Auto Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit). Additional insurance requirements include Transportation Pollution Liability and Professional Liability ($1,000,000 per claim and annual aggregate). Vendors must provide a 30-day written notice of cancellation to the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners' Office of Procurement and Contracts, indicating a structured and formal procurement process designed to ensure comprehensive service delivery and risk management.
