RFP 013-25 Network Infrastructure

This state and local contracting opportunity from the state of Georgia and Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS) is for the replacement of the district's existing network infrastructure. CCPS is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide a turnkey network infrastructure solution, including the provision of switches, wireless access points, and related equipment and services. The RFP outlines a detailed scope of services, with objectives such as the 1-for-1 swap of existing hardware and installation to be performed after hours to minimize disruption. Respondents must comply with E-Rate program requirements, as the project is contingent on E-Rate funding approval. The RFP specifies a one-year initial contract term with three optional one-year extensions. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical, experience, and cost factors, with a total maximum score of 100 points. The RFP includes a pre-proposal conference on October 3, 2024, with the proposal submission deadline set for November 19, 2024.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFP does not specify a budget range or award value, but it notes that the cost may exceed the remaining pre-discount Category 2 budget, potentially requiring a split of the equipment request into two E-Rate funding years.
