The Illinois Department of Innovation & Technology (DoIT) is seeking bids for a Point-to-Point Metro-Ethernet Transport Service with a Committed Information Rate (CIR) of 20 Mbps for the Illinois Secretary of State location in Belvidere, IL. The service must meet the requirements outlined in the State's previous Invitation for Bid #18-448DoIT-TELEC-B38, with the vendor responsible for delivering the service inside the buildings to the designated telco rooms at both ends and terminating the circuit on vendor-provided equipment. The service term is 60 months, and vendors must notify the quote contact to schedule a site visit within 5 business days if needed to provide a firm quote. All quotes must be submitted in compliance with the date and time listed in the BidBuy notification, and vendors must populate the Non-Recurring Charge/Install (NRC) and Monthly Recurring Charge (MRC) sections, including all taxes and fees, as well as provide the Total Cost of Ownership (MRC multiplied by service term plus NRC).

This bid is only available to current contract holders certified under the State's Metro Ethernet Master Contract. Any questions regarding the RFQ must be submitted in writing via email no later than 3 days prior to the quote due date of November 30, 2020 at 8 AM CST. The bid amendment removes MetroFibernet, LLC from the vendor notification listing, as they are not an authorized IQTC vendor, but does not provide any information on pricing terms, set asides, incumbents, current environment, funding requirements and sources, or other salient details.
