The procurement is limited to master contractors already enrolled on the underlying master contract; this is a call-off vehicle rather than an open solicitation.

The contract term is two years from NTP, with a four-year performance period under the executed Purchase Order Agreement.

Evaluation is based on lowest proposed price across monthly recurring charges, taxes, surcharges, connection fees, and special construction costs. Bidders must submit fully loaded monthly recurring service charges for the entire 24-month term, installation costs, and may propose a construction allowance to waive installation and construction fees. The evaluation cost is the total MRC for 24 months plus service installation costs minus any construction allowance. MBE goals are not applicable. Proposed prices must remain valid for 120 days from submission.

Responses must be submitted via email through eMMA with a technical proposal, signed price sheet, conflict of interest affidavit, and financial assumptions.
