Questions Received with Applicant Answers ( Ask Questions? )

Chirs - i am submitting the pricing for the Sanger ISD Wan connections - question do they really want point to point connections or would they prefer a GIG at all sites where any campus can tlak to the other?

Answer:
The existing fiber routes are all over the board and some campuses take up to 6 hops to get to the internet. I will accept any proposals that include re-routing fiber to enter the HS directly (where the Internet is).

What is the existing Wireless Infrastructure?

Answer:
1AP to 2 rooms (Aerohive) at HS, MS, Chisolm Trail. Other campuses have adhoc non-managed consumer based APs. Cabling is needed.

Can you please clarify the last two addresses for your WAN? Also, is there a hub for all these connections? It seems that the only common site for all these connections is 105 N Berry. Is that the hub? Are you open to a 5 and 10 year contract?

Answer:
5. should read 100 Indian Lane

6. Address is correct.

The existing fiber routes are all over the board and some campuses take up to 6 hops to get to the internet. I will accept any proposals that include re-routing fiber to enter the HS directly (where the Internet is). 5 years is the longest contract we would want to consider.

For the WAN connections, are we to use Layer 2 or Layer 3? If Layer 3, is the provider to supply the CPE router at each location? Thank you!

Answer:
Layer 3, the switches will be provided by school district.

Would you consider a pure Star architecture with all schools aggregating to the 6th grade, or to the Data Center? If so, would you prefer multiple 1Gb handoffs (one for each site) or a single 10Gb handoff at the aggregate site?

Answer:
I will accept any proposals that include re-routing fiber to enter the HS directly (where the Internet is). Ideally I would like to link directly to 100 Indian Lane since that's were our core router is as well as internet link If not possible, the existing configuration will suffice with some modifications such as fiber splicing to go from MS to HS, skipping 6GC and Annex. 1 Gb handoffs

Can as-built drawings be made available to properly quote the cabling?

Answer:
The district has decided to cancel the entire E-rate hardware project. They will not be seeking E-rate funding or applying for any of the C2 project. We apologize for any inconvenience.
