About this opportunity
The City of Ashland, Oregon, through Jackson County, is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Internet Bandwidth services to be provided to the Ashland Fiber Network (AFN). The procurement seeks comprehensive internet bandwidth solutions, including network routing management with a specific focus on BGP routing and multiple peering sessions. Vendors must provide two mandatory IP Transit connections with carrier and path diversity: a 25 gig IP Transit and 2 x 10 gig IP Transit LACP Link Aggregation, both to be located at the Ashland Fiber Network. Optional additional IP Transit options include 10 gig, 40 Gbps, and 100 Gbps ports with various bandwidth commitments. The RFP requires vendors to demonstrate capability in monitoring bandwidth needs, maintaining high-performance network infrastructure, and providing 24/7 support. Evaluation criteria will assess proposers across multiple categories including experience, IP transits, activation plan, outage notification protocol, references, and cost proposal, with a total possible score of 105 points. Proposals are due by 2:00:00 PM PST on Friday, August 29, 2025, with an intended service start date of October 31, 2025.
The contract includes a two-year initial term with options for three additional one-year extensions, for a maximum total contract duration of five years. Performance requirements are stringent, mandating a combined uptime of 99.99%, packet delay not exceeding 12ms, and quarterly technical and financial reviews. The city reserves the right to award multiple contracts to ensure carrier and path diversity, with the top two highest-ranked proposers likely to receive contracts. Successful proposers must comply with local requirements, including the Ashland Municipal Code's living wage provision of $19.44 per hour as of June 30, 2025, and provide comprehensive insurance coverage with a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned, the RFP appears open to competitive bidding from qualified internet bandwidth and network service providers. The procurement does not specify an exact budget range, but the comprehensive technical requirements and multiple potential contract awards suggest a significant investment in network infrastructure and bandwidth services.
