Vendors must provide pricing quotations for both 36-month and 60-month contract terms.

The district requires 99.999% minimum monthly uptime with 4-hour response and resolution time, 24/7 customer support and network engineering, and service notifications for any outages with maximum 30-minute notification delay. For lit fiber proposals, minimum 10 Gbps bi-directional throughput is required. All vendors must hold a valid FCC Service Provider ID Number (SPIN) and provide executed certifications of compliance with Georgia's Security and Immigration Compliance Act, debarment, non-collusion, and equal opportunity assurances.

The district anticipates utilizing Federal Universal Service Fund (E-Rate program) support and requires vendors to itemize E-Rate eligible and ineligible amounts in their quotations. Submissions must include one original, one copy, and one electronic copy on thumb drive, sealed and marked with RFQ number 001-PUR-2024.

The City of Albany was awarded the contract at $179,251.20 annually.
