Scotia Union School District is seeking two high-capacity fiber connections between its Scotia facilities and the Humboldt County Office of Education in Eureka. - Government buyer and locations - Buyer: Scotia Union School District, also identified in an application as Scotia Union Elementary School District. - The two endpoints in Scotia are the District Office/Stanwood A. Murphy Elementary School and the Gymnasium Annex; both circuits terminate at the Humboldt County Office of Education in Eureka. - Requested service - Two point-to-point, fiber-based Ethernet broadband circuits, each providing 1 Gbps with the ability to increase to 10 Gbps. - Installation and initial configuration are requested; the service must include network management and WAN utilization reporting, real-time configuration, implementation, and support. - A single consolidated bill is required for both circuits. The service must be eligible for E-Rate Category 1 and California Teleconnect discounts. - Technical and service requirements - Ethernet capabilities include full duplex, Gigabit Ethernet, VLAN, transparent bridging, and packet priority, with specified Layer 1 and Layer 2 support and minimum Layer 3 protocols. - Requested service objectives include 99% network availability, 99.99% packet delivery, committed latency, and a four-hour end-to-end mean time to repair. - Proposals should price both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps service and identify recurring and non-recurring charges, special construction costs and fees, network design, installation, support, and service-level commitments. - OEMs and vendors - No OEM, equipment manufacturer, or prospective service provider is named. No equipment makes, models, or part numbers are specified. - The Humboldt County Office of Education is the destination endpoint, not a named service provider. - Term - The narrative requests a five-year agreement. An application separately lists a 1–4-year range, so the term is inconsistent across the documents. Annual payment is indicated; no option years are specified. The agreement is contingent on full E-Rate funding.
