Answer:
1) Are all campuses networked together via fiber for unified visibility? yes we have ATT leased 1g fiber between each campus
2) Do you have an available virtual server resource for a virtual controller license? no we do not have virtual environments available. Controllers will need to either be a physical box or a cloud based controller.
3) When you say cloud controller for the AP's are you referring to a subscription based cloud management tool to unify the wireless campuses. I would prefer to not have reoccurring costs for cloud management unless I lose necessary features by not having subscription based management software or have limitations to number of ap's on free licensing.
4) CD Franks only has 30 drops listed but no switches or AP's and Ashdown Elementary has no cabling requested for the hardware. Is this bid missing those line items or are we do assume we are using existing switches/aps in CD Franks and non required to cable anything at Ashdown elementart?
CD Franks building is on the Ashdown Elementary campus. The district ran new cat6 wiring in the rest of the elementary last summer during a remodel project. The CD Franks building was not cabled during this construction so we are wanting it cabled but not the rest of the campus. The Ashdown elementary AP and switch counts will cover the CD Franks building's needs.
5) What is the time line of the project as far as expected completion date. Will we be able to work during standard business hours?
I would prefer this project to be completed during the Summer of 2019 dependent on local funding for the overall project. However we are open to working during normal business hours if necessary as long as it does not disrupt normal classroom activities.
