Jewell School seeks dedicated E-Line transport service at 1–2 Gbps

Jewell School is seeking bids for dedicated E-Line transport service connecting its school to one of three regional network locations. - Government buyer: Jewell School, a public K–12 school in Seaside, Oregon. - Service requested: One dedicated, symmetrical E-Line transport solution, with pricing requested for 1 Gbps, 1.5 Gbps, and/or 2 Gbps. - Preferred endpoint: Northwest Regional ESD (NWRESD), Washington Service Center. - Acceptable alternatives: Clackamas Education Service District or the Pittock Building. - Only one service provider and one solution are intended to be selected; bidders do not need to price every route. - Requirements: Dedicated bandwidth with a committed information rate, no usage caps or throttling, and termination at the school-designated in-building demarcation point. Installation and initial configuration are indicated as required. Internet access is excluded. - Pricing and contract considerations: Monthly recurring pricing is requested for 12- and 36-month initial terms, along with basic installation and applicable special-construction costs. Complete costs must be provided, with no unpriced additional charges or rate increases during the contract. The notice also calls for Lowest Corresponding Price compliance and requests options to increase bandwidth without extending the term, add sites at the contracted recurring rate, and terminate circuits without penalty if a location closes. - OEMs and named organizations: Huawei and ZTE are identified as prohibited covered manufacturers, not as required equipment providers. E-Rate Central is identified as a consultant, and Cascade Tech appears in a procurement-contact email affiliation; neither is identified as a bidder or service provider. - Equipment: No vendor-provided equipment, manufacturer, model, or part number is specified.
