DVUSD network and wireless refresh with core-switch replacement

Deer Valley Unified School District 97 is refreshing network and wireless infrastructure at 10 elementary schools and replacing its data-center core switch. - Buyer: Deer Valley Unified School District 97 (DVUSD), Phoenix, Arizona. - OEMs: Cisco Systems is the preferred network and wireless OEM; equivalent products are accepted. American Power Conversion (APC) is specified for UPS units; equivalents are allowed. - Main equipment requested: Transceivers and cables; Catalyst 9300 and 9400 switches and components; a Nexus-equivalent core-switch chassis and line cards; rackmount UPS units; Wi-Fi 6 access points; wireless controllers; and associated licenses. - Aggregate quantities in the request: 120 10G SFP+ transceivers, 40 1G SFP transceivers, 20 3-meter cables, 80 Catalyst 9300 switches, 10 10-slot chassis switches, 1 core-switch chassis with 4 48-port and 2 36-port line cards, 50 UPS units, 600 access points, and 10 wireless controllers. Switch and access-point licensing includes three-year terms where specified; the core chassis includes a three-year license. - Additional detailed equipment schedule: The attached school-level schedule separately lists smaller quantities of Cisco components and equipment, including 60 access points, 4 UPS units, individual chassis components, transceivers, cables, and switches. These detailed quantities are retained separately in the line-item list because the schedule may detail locations or subsets of the aggregate request. - Services and requirements: Provide installation and initial configuration, campus surveys and access-point placement assessments, durable equipment labels, and as-built documentation including a wireless heat map. Basic maintenance is also listed for switches, UPS units, access points, and controllers, along with wireless-controller licensing and support. - Technical requirements: Main switches and routers must support Layer 3 and EIGRP; routers must also support traffic shaping and QoS. The equipment must meet the specified Cisco/APC-equivalent configurations, including power supplies, modules, line cards, stacking components, and licenses. - Quote considerations: Include equipment, supplies, labor, configuration, project management, and related costs; itemize costs by school or location and separate E-Rate-eligible from ineligible costs. The District prefers a single award covering the school refresh and core replacement but may make multiple awards.
