Douglas County Public Library System seeks internet access and data transmission service for its Main Library and Lake Tahoe Branch.
- **Government buyer:** Douglas County Public Library System / Douglas County Public Library. The request covers the Main Library in Minden and the Lake Tahoe Branch in Zephyr Cove, Nevada.
- **Services requested:**

  - Lake Tahoe Branch: one lit fiber or SPOTPN service, with bandwidth from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps.
  - Installation and initial configuration are required at both locations; synchronous bandwidth is preferred.
- **Delivery and pricing requirements:** Service must terminate at the library-designated in-building demarcation point, generally the MDF.

Bidders may propose for either or both sites.
- **Notable requirements:** The library requests the lowest corresponding price, no price increases during the contract term, options to increase bandwidth, and penalty-free circuit termination if a site closes. Cost is the highest-valued evaluation factor.
