Saranac Lake Central District Category 1 Internet Access for Two Locations

Saranac Lake Central District is seeking E-Rate Category 1 internet access for two school locations, with multiple bandwidth options at each site. - Government buyer: Saranac Lake Central District, a public school district in Saranac Lake, Franklin County, New York; no sub-agency or office is identified. - Requested services: Internet access at Petrova Elementary School Library and the Server Room, with separate 12-month options at 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1,000 Mbps for each location. The request is for two locations; each listed location-and-bandwidth option has a quantity of 1. - Service requirements: The earlier specification calls for at least 300 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload and considers both Shared Internet Access and Dedicated Internet Access. Service must reach the designated building MDF demarcation point. No static IPs are requested. - Pricing and delivery: Offerors are asked to provide monthly and installation charges, E-Rate eligibility, and fee information. The earlier specification also calls for pricing of recurring, non-recurring, special construction, and optional router/modem lease costs, and places site delivery, construction, permitting, pathways, and right-of-way costs on the vendor. Proposals should distinguish eligible from ineligible charges and identify shared versus dedicated service. - OEMs and named vendors: Huawei and ZTE are identified as prohibited covered manufacturers; proposals may not include or support their equipment or services, or those of other covered companies. E-Rate Central is identified as the district’s E-Rate consultant/contact, not a selected supplier. No eligible service provider or equipment OEM is designated. - Notable procurement considerations: Eligible service cost receives the greatest evaluation weight. The district may prefer New York State OGS-contracted vendors and may award all, part, or none of the requested services.
