The SAILS Library Network is seeking telecommunications services for 23 libraries. Minimum line speed should be 300 Mbps and maximum should be 1 Gbps. The lines are for telecommunications only, connecting the libraries to the main computer via VPN connections established either through a Fortinet firewall or FortiClient VPN client. Each line should have a fixed IP address. SAILS will accept proposals for a multi-year contract of service providing the network may choose to increase bandwidth for all or some of the libraries at any point in the contract period. If a bandwidth upgrade is requested mid-contract the term length does not reset or renew. Preference will be given for contracts allowing for a cancellation of service without penalty. All solutions must include installation and initial configuration (if needed) and a method to report service outages and receive basic technical support without additional service fees. Vendor must provide the ability to provide telephone support 24 X 7 and provide on site technical support and service 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at library sites.
