Summary:
District staff issued E-Rate Request for Proposal (RFP) 1903 for Lit Fiber High Transport Services/E-Rate Form 470 #220000154. To support 21st Century Learning, we are upgrading lit fiber high speed transport services at the following 16 sites: High Schools (5): College Park, Concord, Mt. Diablo, Northgate, and Ygnacio Valley; Middle Schools (9): Diablo View, El Dorado, Foothill, Oak Grove, Pine Hollow, Pleasant Hill, Riverview, and Sequoia; and District Sites (2): Bridge Program, and Maintenance & Operations.

The District received two (2) Proposals in response to RFP 1903/E-Rate Form 470 #220000154 for Transport Services. The responses were evaluated by District staff. AT&T was determined to be the most responsive/responsible bidder for the transport service of the District's Internet to 16 sites. The Agreement is for three (3) year term (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025) for $540,973.08 ($15,027.03/month); less E-Rate reimbursements up to sixty percent, or $324,583.85. The agreement proposes two, 1-year extensions for the (2025-26 and 2026-27) for possible consideration. Reimbursements are not guaranteed and are often a year in arrears so the total is listed under fiscal impact despite a good chance of reimbursement.
