Rapoport Academy Public School is seeking a turnkey Category 2 cabling and fiber installation for its FY2027 E-Rate project.
- **Buyer:** Rapoport Academy Public School, a public charter school district in Waco, McLennan County, Texas. No sub-agency or specific office is identified.
- **Requested work:** Install or replace Category 6 copper cabling and a single-mode fiber backbone, including materials, terminations, labeling, testing, certification, and closeout documentation. The fiber route is described as a proposed 50-foot pathway.
- **Quantities listed in the Form 470:** 25,000 feet of cabling; an additional 10,000 feet of cabling; and 500 antennas, connectors, and related components. The latter entries are not clearly aligned with the RFP, which excludes Basic Maintenance of Internal Connections and wireless equipment. The RFP scope should guide interpretation of these entries.
- **Additional service:** Remove abandoned cabling across three floors, lawfully dispose of it, and restore affected areas; price this work separately.
- **Proposal requirements:** Provide itemized pricing for materials, installation labor, termination labor, and testing/certification, and distinguish E-Rate-eligible from ineligible costs. A mandatory site visit is required to verify field conditions and sign the attendance register.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No equipment manufacturers, product brands, part numbers, or prospective bidding vendors are named. The latest notice references a replacement pricing spreadsheet and retains the FCC Form 470.
