3. Add to Specification 1.3—FEATURES/CAPABILITIES OF THE ROUTER AT
ALL LOCATIONS TO CONNECT EXISTING LAN/LABS TO THE ATM SWITCH (2210 ROUTER):
All routers must support both Token-ring LANE and Ethernet LANE and
provide for a minimum 25Mbs ATM up-link. The actual number of Token-ring
and/or Ethernet LAN's to be supported at each building location will be
negotiated at the time of bid award. For purposes of this bid, it is assumed
that one (1) of each shall be supported. Provider should bid one router
per location—total 38—except for the three ICC Campuses for which none
should be bid.
4. Add to Specification 2.0—VIDEO COMPRESSION and NETWORK OPTIMIZATION
SERVER HARDWARE and ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE (ineligible for FCC USF):
-
For Washington HS, Tremont HS, and Delevan HS, one VAN each with 1 encoder
and 1 decoder
-
For ICC Perley Campus, two VAN's each with 1 encoder and 1 decoder
-
For ICC East Peoria Campus, one or more VAN's to support 4 encoders and
6 decoders
-
ALL BIDS ARE DUE MARCH 23, 1998 AT 10:30 A.M. (NOT P.M.).
-
Exhibit 3 (MAP) does not show the two Illinois Central College—Peoria Campuses;
these should be added. They include: the ICC_Health and Safety Campus immediately
adjacent to QST Communications at 201 SW Adams and the ICC-Perely Campus
across the mall at 115 SW Adams. A total of four strands should be planned
from the East Peoria Campus directly to the Health and Safety Campus and
then on to the Perely Campus.
-
Exhibit 3 (MAP) shows in the LEGEND that the ICC HUB has only 2 OC-3 ports;
it should be 4 OC-3 ports; The Map LEGEND shows the Morton HS HUB having
6 OC-3 ports, it should be 7 OC-3 ports; The Central Grade School, Washington,
location is for future consideration only—fiber will remain dark at the
pole closest to the school campus but not onto the campus and shall originate
from Washington HS; The Map LEGEND shows the Washington HS HUB having 8
OC-3 ports, it should be 6 OC-3 ports.
-
In responding to Schedule 1 of the WAN- and LAN-RFP "Proposal Quotation
Form", please attach to the same a detailed breakout of your costs—especially
if utilizing FCC USF funds. Note which costs are being claimed for discount
by means of an asterisk (*). For the WAN-RFP, it is important to show the
costs of each segment. This is especially important on the Deer Creek and
Mackinaw 'runs' which may be dropped.
-
LAN-RFP, Section 1.0 SOFTWARE - ATM Network management
Is there an existing network management platform in place that can
support (hardware and software) the network requirements requested in
the RFP? YES.
If so, will the LAN provider be responsible for configuration and
integration of the new equipment in to the existing management station?
YES.
If yes can you please supply information regarding the current
configuration of the equipment? A BASIC IDEA CAN BE OBTAIN BY REVIEWING
EXHIBIT 2, THE DISTRICT'S GLOBAL CONNECTION 2000 PAGE. HOWEVER, I WILL
ASK OUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR TO PREPARE A RESPONSE TO THIS SPECIFIC QUESTION.
-
Section 3.0: INSTALLATION, CONFIGURATION, AND TESTING SERVICES "If racks
are supplied, the equipment shall be mounted in the same as
space allows." Is the RFP requesting that the LAN provider supply racks
or will the racks be supplied as needed per site by civicNET members? RACKS
WILL BE PROVIDED BY CIVICNET MEMBERS WHEN AND WERE NEEDED. AS AN ALTERNATIVE
"ADD-ON" YOU MAY SUPPLY US WITH THE COST OF A STANDARD RACK. RACKS ARE
KNOWN TO EXIST AT ALL THREE ICC CAMPUSES AND THE PEKIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
If racks are not needed or plausible ("as space allows") at all sites
is there information available as to quantity of closets with racks, type
of rack, closet
conditions of non-rack closets, etc.? AT MOST, THERE WILL BE A NEED
FOR 36 RACKS. THE SUPPLY OF RACKS—BASED UPON YOUR ALTERNATIVE ADD-ON COSTS
WILL BE NEGOTIATED AT THE TIME OF BID AWARD. THESE RACK COSTS SHOULD NOT
BE SHOWN IN SCHEDULE 1 BUT APPENDED TO THE SAME FOR REFERENCE.
-
SECTION 3.0 INSTALLATION, CONFIGURATION, and TESTING SERVICES. Will the
testing procedure define and constitute the acceptance
and completion criteria? If so, is a list of this criteria available?
WITH THE DARK FIBER TESTED AND MEETING SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE TRANSMISSION
OF THE LIGHTWAVE SIGNAL, THE HARDWARE, GENERALLY, WILL BE CONSIDERED TESTED
AND OPERATIONAL WHEN:
-
A DIRECTLY ATTACHED 25Mbps ATM WORKSTATION WITH APPROPRIATE NIC CARD IS
ABLE TO 'PING' THE FIREWALL AND MAIL SERVERS OF THE PEKIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OR OTHER DESIGNATED DEVICE;
-
A LAN ATTACHED WORKSTATION—BOTH TOKEN-RING AND ETHERNET IS ABLE TO 'PING'
THE FIREWALL AND MAIL SERVERS OF THE PEKIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS OR OTHER DESIGNATED
DEVICE;
-
WORKSTATIONS FROM BOTH (A) AND (B) ABOVE ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THE WORLDWIDE
WEB THROUGH THE ISBE-PEORIA POP;
-
WORKSTATIONS FROM BOTH (A) AND (B) ABOVE ARE ABLE TO SEND/RECEIVE MAIL
FROM A NON-CIVICNET/GLOBAL CONNECTION 2000 SOURCE; AND,
-
REGARDING THE VANS, AN MPEG-2 VIDEO SIGNAL IS TRANSMITTED FROM ICC-EAST
PEORIA TO EACH OF THREE LOCATIONS: WASHINGTON HS, TREMONT HS, AND DELEVAN
HS.
-
Is there any requirement for skills transfer or training? PROVIDER SHOULD
SHOW AS AN ALTERNATIVE ADD-ON THE COST OF BOTH SKILLS TRANSFER AND TRAINING.
THESE COSTS SHOULD NOT BE SHOWN IN SCHEDULE 1 BUT RATHER ON A SEPARATELY
ATTACHED SHEET TO SCHEDULE 1.
-
Can you further explain how you plan to address the issue of addressing?
This question, other than the funding issue (I know it will come, I'm
just
not sure when, how much, etc. ) seems to be your most challenging issue.
The
challenges you face include not only obtaining enough addresses from
ISBE,
managing these addresses, but also incorporating the present address
schemes
of several independent entities. In projects of this scope, we usually
recommend NAT (Network Address Translation) at the edge (the individual
schools), and some type of DHCP at the core (Pekin). NAT will allow
the
schools to maintain their current address schemes, but use the leased
addresses from ISBE for internet activity.
THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION WILL BE FORTHCOMING. NO DETERMINATION HAS
BEEN MADE AS OF THIS WRITING. CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW AT THE AREA 3 TECHNOLOGY
HUB.
-
What is the LAN infrastructure at each of the schools?
-
Specifically, are they Token Ring? Ethernet? Fast Ethernet? Other?
-
Is this shared, or switched media?
-
Is there an uplink port available for connecting to a WAN edge device (Like
an ethernet switch port that you can connect to a router? (or a hub/
MAU/
CAU port)
-
What is the make / model of this device?
-
Do you currently use a router? Make/ Model/ Are there any ports / slots
not
being used?
THE DATA COLLECTED AND REPORTED BELOW IS INCOMPLETE AND UN-VERIFIED.
PROVIDER SHOULD RESPOND BY QUOTING A NEW ROUTER FOR EACH LOCATION ALONG
WITH A MINIMUM 25Mbps UP-LINK FOR THE APPROPRIATE ATM SWITCH.
