2526-016 - High Speed Data Service Digital Transmission within Wide Area Network

Mesa County Valley School District 51 (“District”) requests proposals for a managed, district-only fiber wide-area network connecting all District sites to the Admin Service Center (ASC) head-end. The District intends to transition from a hub-and-spoke topology to a self-healing ring architecture that provides automatic protection switching and service continuity in the event of a fiber break or equipment failure. The resulting WAN must be dedicated to the District (no shared carrier VLAN/VRF or public traffic) and must meet or exceed 10 Gbps committed bandwidth per site, with the ability to scale higher during the contract term.  Public Internet access is out of scope for this solicitation.
