Question Deadline 03/07/2024 at 1:00 PM CT The purpose of this Request for Bid (RFB) is to solicit competitive bids from qualified suppliers to provide and install network cabling for the schools listed hereafter for Canyons School District (CSD). It is anticipated that this RFB may result in a contract awarded to a qualified supplier for commodities and as defined further in the solicitation. This RFB is designed to provide interested suppliers with sufficient basic information to submit bids meeting minimum requirements, but is not intended to limit a bid's content or exclude any relevant or essential data. All bid preparation costs and any associated activities related to this RFB are the sole responsibility of the Supplier. When using Utah State Contract pricing, please reference contract number. All solicitation responses must be submitted electronically through Ion Wave. E-rate eligible solutions are preferred but not required. However, vendors must include their USAC issued Service Provider ID Number (SPIN) as well as evidence that they have filed a current Service Provider Annual Certification (SPAC), form 473, in their proposal. Vendors must also include, to the extent possible, an assessment of E-rate eligibility for all products/services offered. Different but equal solutions will be considered. New solutions will need to maintain the current level of functionality, the determination of which remains solely with Canyons School District. If working within this mixed environment is not possible, eligible costs and ineligible costs will need to be included to replicate current functionality. The proposal shall include a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) references over the past four (4) years. If possible, these should be from similar institutions, preferably from school districts. References should include information about the contract (specific products in use, date of contract execution, "go-live" date and specific services provided), as well as contact information from the client's project manager or other senior staff members familiar with the project. The District reserves the right to evaluate past performance obtained from other sources other than those furnished by the proposer. The proposer will be scored on E-Rate experience and eligibility. All bid responses will need to provide references. Emphasis should be given to provide references with similar composition. Size and scope, enterprise management, business purpose (education), and geographic proximity are examples of references that will be of particular interest. The supplier will list previous E-Rate experience, provide evidence that they have a Service Providers Identification Number (SPIN) and provide evidence that they have filed a current Service Provider Annual Certification (SPAC)(Form 473).
