Renovation of an educational facility in Montville, Connecticut. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Montville Public Schools (MPS) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to replace and upgrade the existing wireless network, coverage of wireless and related network infrastructure to support the additional access points for the schools as described in this Request for Proposal ("RFP"). Building maps and blueprints will be available after the mandatory vendor meeting. The new wireless network shall be a cloud-based controller, enterprise class wired/wireless network and should be compatible with Extreme Networking. The purpose of this RFP is to expand and replace our existing Ruckus wireless infrastructure to provide coverage for the entire middle school, including classroom spaces, Media Center, Cafeteria, Food Service Area, Maintenance, Gymnasium, Auditorium, and front offices. We are estimating 81 access points, cabling, 6 patch panels and any other hardware/supplies for installation of access points. Any questions should be made in writing via e-mail to Mr. Nicholas Savoie, erate@montvilleschools.org Director of Technology by 2:00 pm December 18th , 2023.

Libraries, cafeterias and the multipurpose building shall support up to 150 devices. All quantities & capacities are approximate and subject to change. 3) Patch panels shall be added to each MDF/IDF hosting access points if needed. 4) Vendor is responsible for configuring all devices needed to implement the new wireless network. MPS technicalstaff shall be consulted priorto making any and all changes to any MPS system.

This survey shall be provided to the district once complete. All capacities are approximate and subject to change. 11) All work not found in conformance with the intent of the proposalshall be repaired promptly at no additional charge toMPS. 12) The Vendor must provide a guarantee that the system will operate and perform as advertised when students and staff fully utilize the system. This includes minimum RSSI of -65 dBm or -70 dBM (in both the 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ bands) in all designated spaces as listed in 2.2.9. The Vendor will be required to provide the appropriate devices at no charge if spaces are found that do not meet these requirements. 13) Vendor will provide any additional and/or replacement wiring, patch panels, terminators and/or patch cables as needed to complete this project. 14) All cablings must be CAT6 cable. 15) Vendor will pull a building permit for the project.

The existing Cat. 6 from unused access points maybe used for new access points or left above the ceilings for future use. If existing cabling is being used, please verify the cable is in good standing. May need to re-terminate the ends of CAT6 cables.
