Glen Lake Community Schools (GLCS) issued a Request for Proposals on August 21, 2018, seeking design, equipment, installation, and configuration services for a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to provide comprehensive cellular telephone coverage throughout its school facility. The project requires proposals supporting AT&T and Verizon wireless carriers with optional Sprint coverage, achieving 95% signal coverage at 2.1GHz with -95dB or better signal strength throughout the facility. Deliverables include active DAS technology with digital independent channel control, enterprise remote monitoring capabilities with real-time performance visibility, automatic malfunction notification, MIMO capability, and support for LTE, Cell, UMTS, PCS, and AWS services across 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz, and 1.9/2.1GHz frequency bands. Pricing proposals must be comprehensive and include all equipment, installation services, recurring costs, service contracts, and licensing fees. The RFP evaluation criteria focus on solution quality, bidder reputation and experience, total cost of ownership, and RFP compliance. A mandatory facilities walk-through was scheduled for September 6, 2018 at 4:00 PM at the GLCS Central Office, with proposals due electronically to LeAnn Eustice (eusticel@mylakers.org) by September 14, 2018 at 12:00 PM, with public opening and reading occurring at the same time. Technical inquiries should be directed to Marcus Mead (meadm@mylakers.org).

The RFP does not indicate set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organization types eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The proposed system must integrate with existing Cisco network infrastructure including singlemode fiber connections and copper cabling, as the facility currently operates with minimal cellular coverage supplemented by external signal boosters. GLCS reserves the right to reject any and all bids submitted. The contract term and renewal options are not explicitly stated in the available documentation. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the RFP.
