Cook Inlet Academy is seeking internet service and an end-to-end school network and IP security-camera upgrade in Soldotna, Alaska.
- Buyer: Cook Inlet Academy; school Information Technology Administrator. The materials identify it as a private school and do not name a parent agency or sub-agency.
- **OEM and vendors mentioned:** Ubiquiti equipment and cameras are part of the existing environment, not a required brand for new purchases. Alaska Communications currently provides the school's 25/25 DSL service. No new OEM or service provider is mandated.
- Internet access: Category One internet access and data transmission for Funding Year 2027. The FCC Form 470 request lists a capacity range of 1–100 Gbps, quantity 3 (each), and requires installation and initial configuration. Bidders should describe available speeds, service levels, support, costs, and options to increase bandwidth or add redundancy.
- Network and security equipment: Propose an enterprise-grade solution, including applicable switching, routing, firewall, wireless access points, network management, racks, UPS, fiber components, and accessories. The RFP does not prescribe models, part numbers, or equipment quantities; new equipment is expected unless otherwise approved.
- IP surveillance: Design and deploy an IP-based camera and video-management system, including appropriate cameras, recording and storage, licensing, secure access, and related PoE or UPS components. The existing campus has 15 Ubiquiti IP cameras; new camera counts and locations are to be determined through assessment.
- Cabling and implementation: Include required Category 6 plenum-rated copper cabling or better, fiber, patch panels, and accessories, plus assessment, design, installation, configuration, testing, commissioning, documentation, staff training, warranties, and ongoing support.
- Notable requirements: Provide itemized initial and recurring costs, implementation plans, service-level and support details, licensing and subscription costs, and any proposed optional alternatives. Minimize disruption to school operations.
