FY2027 Galaxy Education Inc. dba Discovery Academy of Science - Special Construction - C1

This is a NEW CONSTRUCTION site with no existing service, so SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION / fiber build-out to the premises is expected and is included in this request (one-time construction charges, installation, activation, configuration, and any required CPE). Please provide pricing for a 1Gbps, 5Gbps and 10Gbps circuit so we can compare cost per Mbps.

Requested contract term: 3 years with two 1-year optional extensions (bidders may also quote 5-year pricing if it lowers the monthly rate). Requested service-ready date: May-June 2027, to be live before the first day of the 2027-28 school year. Required: symmetrical upload/download, low latency/jitter, SLA with uptime guarantee, and 24/7 US-based support.

For lit service, what matters is the handoff: the provider should bring their fiber into the building. We want the provider to handle the full run into the building, into the IT room, and terminated at the rack. We do not know the route or distance and expect the site survey to determine that, so please keep special construction itemized separately in each bid.

DISQUALIFICATION FACTORS: bidders unable to deliver service to the premises by 6/30/2027; bids that do not itemize one-time special construction charges separately from monthly recurring charges; bids without a written SLA.All proposals must be sent to Salih Sen <[contact in the Form 470]> as well as to [contact in the Form 470].

Responses that are not sent to this address will not be considered. Although not a mandatory requirement, service providers should indicate if they are willing to invoice USAC directly, providing the school with the applicable discounts on their monthly billing. The email subject of your response should be titled with the school name and Form 470 # for which you are bidding; responses without this subject will not be considered.

Bidders should provide all taxes and surcharges in the pricing.
