The Creighton Elementary School District is rebuilding Biltmore Preparatory Academy, which will require an installation of a new network demarcation point. The new school will be constructed adjacent to the existing campus while retaining the same address: 4601 N. 34th St., Phoenix, AZ 85018. The current demarcation point is on the south side of the property but will move to the north side, near Highland Ave. See the attached map for general location. The new facility is expected to come online in summer 2027. Existing buildings will remain in use until construction is complete, after which older structures will be demolished and the site redeveloped. It is the intent of the District to award a 4-year or 1-year contract, with optional extensions not to exceed a total of 48 months. The contract term shall begin on July 1, 2027. If the service acceptance date is after July 1, the contract term may be reduced at the discretion of the District. The current solution is a metro Ethernet solution with the hub located at the District Office (3609 N 27th St. Phoenix, AZ 85016) The District is seeking proposals for a fully managed, lit service WAN with pricing for a minimum 1Gbps and maximum 10Gbps bandwidth with 1Gbps increments. All original contracts offered that are less than a 48-month term should include specifications that allow for annual one-year extensions and/or month to month extensions at the discretion of the applicant; not to exceed a total of 48 months. Submitted quotes must identify pricing for all bandwidth levels requested; and must be included in the contract. Partial quotes may be disqualified. Contract must allow for upgrades to quoted bandwidths. Submitted quotes must identify the cost for all non-recurring expenses, including but not limited to construction of conduit, trenching, campus assessment, engineering, project management, documentation, contingency, installation, configuration, travel, taxes, etc. The successful vendor must obtain and pay for all permits and inspections required by all legal authorities and agencies having jurisdiction for the work. All taxes, including sales taxes, must be identified separately. Sales tax will not be included in the competitive evaluation of the quote but will be included in the E-Rate Funding Application. The RFQ Response must include a proposed implementation plan including a proposed cut-over date. The vendor must provide and be responsible for all coordination, work and correspondence required to facilitate the required services, interface, charges, cut over schedule, and dates. The District is seeking services and pricing through an approved State Master Contract or other Cooperative Purchasing Contract that is acceptable according to the Arizona State Procurement Rules. Please be advised that this is a Request for Quote and not a formal sealed RFP/Bid process. Arizona State Procurement Code requires a formal sealed bidding process; or purchasing from an approved cooperative purchasing contract, or compliant consortium procured contract for any procurement in excess of $100,000.00.
