Questions Responses

Price schedule: should "Estimated Price" be the monthly unit price, with the extended price covering 12 months? YES
Who is the current internet/cable provider, and can existing coax and data drops be reused? COMCAST, YES
Should the Wi-Fi be a standalone commercial network, separate from the DLA network? YES

CLIN 0003 lists 4 units of "Business Internet with 1 Gigabit speed," while PWS 2.a lists 7 WiFi locations. Please confirm the Government requires 4 separate 1 Gb circuits. If so, where should each circuit terminate (building/room or telecom closet), and what is each one for (for example, which Wi-Fi locations or user groups each circuit serves)? WIFI = 7 locations ALL OF THESE LOCATIONS CURRENTLY HAVE WIFI which are already captured on the PWS.
May all 4 circuits be delivered to one service entrance/demarc at 74 N Washington Ave, or must they be delivered separately to Bldg 1A, Bldg 2 and Bldg 2B? NO, please see above. The PWS sets a minimum of 1 Gb download. Is there a minimum upload speed, an uptime/SLA requirement, or a requirement for dedicated rather than shared broadband service? No minimum speed, nothing special is needed, it’s commercial. Are static public IP addresses required? If so, how many per circuit? No Is this Wi-Fi/internet service a standalone commercial network, separate from the DLA network? Are there any security requirements, such as encryption, SSID/password management or content filtering? Yes standalone and separate from DLA. No security or encryption needed.
If the carrier finds that construction is needed to deliver service (for example, a fiber build), may special construction charges be quoted as a separate line item, or must they be included in the CLIN prices? NO CONSTRUCTION REQUIRED. THIS IS A REFRESH CONTRACT FOR EXISITING SERVICES.

WiFi

CLIN 0004 lists 7 "Business Internet Equipment" units. Please confirm this means 7 Wi-Fi access points/routers, one for each PWS 2.a location, with one unit covering all four Bldg 2B classrooms. THIS IS A REFRESH CONTRACT all units are already in place and operational. Each office has its own modem or is fed from a nearby closet.. THE HDIFC is fully equipped with a COMCAST infrastructure.

Is there existing cabling (Cat6 or coax) from the demarc to each Wi-Fi location, or should we price inside wiring and demarc extension? If new runs are needed, are there plenum or conduit requirements? DEMARC is NOT in the equation.

TV

Are televisions and active coax outlets already in place at each of the 9 TV locations? Only
