About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Flagler County Board of County Commissioners is seeking proposals for E-Rate Internet Service under the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Discount program, targeting two library locations: the Palm Coast Main Library and the Bunnell Library Branch. The procurement solicits multi-year telecommunications and internet access services for a contract period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. Specific technical requirements include pricing for synchronous internet speeds ranging from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps, with installation costs and publicly addressable IP addresses for both library sites. Proposing vendors must obtain a Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN) from the Universal Service Administration Company and comply with Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requirements. The evaluation criteria will assess proposals based on cost (35%), technical approach (20%), project management plan (20%), service and maintenance plan (15%), and project team qualifications (10%). Key deadlines include submission of questions by January 6, 2026, at 12:00 PM, proposal submissions by January 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM through the County's eProcurement Portal, and an optional evaluation scoring meeting on January 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM.

The contract includes local preference criteria for vendors meeting Flagler County vendor requirements, and all proposing vendors must provide comprehensive documentation including proof of insurance, W-9 forms, and financial statements upon request. Service providers will be required to supply all necessary equipment, connections, routers, and IP addresses, with installation mandated during library operating hours to minimize disruption. Vendors must provide troubleshooting service within four hours of reported problems and maintain professional installation documentation adhering to local and state building wiring standards. The contract's funding is contingent upon full E-Rate funding from the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD), with the County reserving the right to cancel or reduce procurement scope if full funding is not secured. Insurance requirements are extensive, including Workers Compensation, General Liability, Auto Liability, Transportation Pollution Liability, and Professional Liability coverage with specific monetary limits. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements and multi-year contract suggest a significant investment in telecommunications infrastructure for these library locations.
