District wireless networking equipment, licensing, support, and related network services

Mountain View Los Altos Union High School District is seeking network equipment, software, and related services for District schools and shared use. - Government buyer: Mountain View Los Altos Union High School District, California; no specific sub-agency or purchasing office is identified. - OEMs and named vendors: Cisco Systems is the named OEM, and “or equivalent” alternatives are permitted for specified equipment. Meraki is named for MS100 subscription licensing and is a Cisco brand. - Latest wireless-equipment schedule: 228 Cisco Wireless 9176I access points (CW9176I-CFG) and 28 Cisco Wireless 9178I access points (CW9178I-CFG), with mounting hardware, licenses, and support. The Exhibit D spreadsheet allocates equipment across Los Altos High School, Alta Vista High School, Adult Ed, Mountain View High School, Freestyle - Digital Arts Program, and District-shared use. - Other current schedule items: Cisco Wireless Essentials and Spaces Essentials licenses; Spaces Advantage and Switching Advantage licenses for existing switches; 14 Meraki MS100 Small Advantage subscriptions; and Cisco networking subscriptions and product support. The Category 2 bid schedule also specifies 140 switches with software and licenses, though the latest pricing spreadsheet does not provide switch part numbers. - Related equipment requests: The Form 470 information also identifies antennas, connectors, and related components (768 units), an additional separate request for 450 wireless access points, and maintenance for 256 access points. These are distinct from, or may reflect earlier separate wireless requests rather than, the latest Exhibit D quantities. - Data transport: The original request sought point-to-point transport from the District hub in Mountain View to the Santa Clara County Office of Education in San Jose, with 10 Gbps, 20 Gbps, and up-to-50-Gbps pricing options. The original requested term was five years; the latest notice attachment list focuses on wireless equipment rather than the earlier data-transport RFP. - Notable requirements: Cisco equipment may be proposed as “or equivalent” where indicated. Wireless access points include specified mounting and recessed-flush-mount hardware, and multi-AP packaging has a stated minimum order quantity of six. Pricing materials include equipment and licensing costs; transport pricing in the original request included recurring charges, construction/installation, circuit type, and lead time.
