REQUEST for PREQUALIFICATION OF PROPOSERS for the NETWORK TECHNOLOGY PROJECT, RANCHO CAMPANA HIGH SCHOOL

Signature on the PSA is required when the project is awarded.

The responder must submit a complete proposal for all technology domains described in the RFP. If the responder is unable to satisfy a portion of the RFP scope, they should indicate the reason (e.g., no suitable subcontractor arrangement, no certifications held, no reseller arrangement) and recognize that they run the risk of the proposal being deemed unresponsive.

Optimally, yes. An alternate solution would need to burden the proposed solution with a policy and management engine that is compatible with both Motorola and the proposed wireless solution and to include all necessary professional services to convert the existing Motorola deployment to the new proposed policy and management platform.

Yes

The WAN is already delivered as a 10 Gb backbone to the district from each campus.

There is currently no native method within the appspace.com solution to display Show and Share content on Cisco DMPs. But appspace.com has customizable modules that can be developed to extend the capabilities of the platform.  The bid alternate is an opportunity for the proposer to include professional services to develop a capability using the appspace.com platform to add the function of displaying Show and Share content on Cisco DMPs.  This is not a required component of the overall solution.

– Digital Media Manager: Version 5.3.6(RB1)

– Show and Share: Version: 5.3.7

– Cisco MXE: Version: 3.3.2

One server each for each of the above systems:

– Server 1: DMM

– Server 2: Show and Share

– Server 3: MXE

Yes

The walls will be a variety of materials- drywall stucco, CMU. However wherever the drawings call out for a monitor, the contractor will be installing backing. We have attached a picture of a location with backing in place prior to installation of the drywall for your reference.

Yes

Unfortunately, due to the aggressive schedule to complete this school and the E-Rate timeline we are required to meet, we cannot extend the due date on this RFP. Please let me know if you have any questions about specific terms and conditions.

The 10% is based on the total amount proposed on this RFP (your exact dollar amount).

REQUIRED PROPOSAL SECURITY: Each proposal must be submitted with security in an amount equal to

10% of the maximum proposal, in one of the following forms: (i) a cashier’s or certified check payable to

the District; or (ii) a proposal bond. The security must be submitted with a completed copy of the

“Proposal Security” form included as one of the Required Proposal Forms. Each proposal bond must be

an executed copy of the “Proposal Bond” form included as one of the Required Proposal Forms and

must be issued by a California-admitted surety as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120.

Unless forfeited, the District will return security to the proposers within a reasonable time, but not more

than sixty days after award of the Contract for the Work.

Substitutions would be part of the proposal and would be considered along with the overall technical approach when the work is awarded.  As such, substitutions (“or equals”) are due on the proposal due date.  Since they are a basis of award, we would not consider them after the work is awarded.

1. RCHS requested C6807-XL-S2T-BUN bundle with VS-S2T-10G-XL supervisor module. VS-S2T-10G supervisor module is the only option included with this 6807 bundle.
a. The supervisors do not need to be the XL version. The redundant switch fabrics should match each other.
2. WS-X6848-TX-2T is listed in Exhibit 2 but not listed as requirement in Section 5.1
a. Exhibit 2 is correct. This was an omission in the bullet-point requirements in the Campus Core Switch specification section. There is a requirement for a copper line card in the chassis switch of class and caliber of the reference model WS-X6848-TX-2T.
3. What length of fiber cross connects are required?
a. It has been determined that the SCCS contractor is providing the District a supply of single-mode and multi-mode LC patch cords for the RCHS project. No fiber cross connect patch cords are required for this proposal. Please zero out these line items in the pricing attachment.

Exhibit 2 is the correct quantity.  The 2 computer lab switches that had previously been proposed as type 2960 were rolled into the counts for the IDF switches.  The separate section for the Computer Lab Access switches should be removed.  The two lab switches will still be installed in the respective computer labs and must be designed to uplink accordingly (as opposed to stacking in a nearby IDF) but they will be of the same type as the network IDF switches.
