Ventura Unified School District is seeking high-speed data circuits and related Category One services to support relocating its data center to Buena High School.
- **Buyer:** Ventura Unified School District; no sub-agency or office is identified.
- **Requested services and quantities:**
  - Two point-to-point circuits, each at 1 Gbps or higher: Buena High School to Sunset Elementary, and Buena High School to the Transportation Service Center. Each must replace existing service and include applicable transition or porting and installation costs.
  - The Form 470 separately lists three units each of standalone data transmission, Category One network equipment, and Category One maintenance and operations, with a stated capacity range of 1–10 Gbps. These quantities are approximate; the RFP governs final specifications.
- **Equipment:** Three units of Category One network equipment are listed; specific equipment, part numbers, and manufacturers are not identified.
- **Notable requirements:** Single-mode-fiber handoff at specified demarcation points; at least 99.99% availability and packet delivery; maximum one-way latency of 30 ms; four-hour end-to-end repair; continuous monitoring; and no capacity throttling. Bids must itemize eligible and ineligible recurring and non-recurring costs, installation and connection charges, and any special construction costs, and include pricing for potential bandwidth growth.
- **Funding and term:** E-Rate funding and a valid Service Provider Identification Number are required. The requested initial term is three years, with two optional one-year extensions, subject to annual E-Rate funding. The stated E-Rate service and billing window is more limited than the requested contract term.
