The StarNet Consortium: • Requires an estimated total of 10Gb to 21Gb of Internet bandwidth for the period of time starting July 1st, 2025. • Estimated beginning total of 10Gb July 1st, 2025, potentially increasing in subsequent years. o Delivery of bandwidth includes: o 5Gb - 10Gb (expandable to 12Gb) to Ingham Intermediate School District at 2630 W. Howell Rd, Mason, Michigan 48854 o 0Gb - 1Gb (expandable to 2Gb) to Okemos Public Schools at 4406 N. Okemos Road, Okemos, Michigan 48864 o 5Gb - 10Gb (expandable in 1Gb increments) to Lansing Public Schools at 5815 Wise Rd., Lansing, Michigan 48911 o Costing estimates should be based on the total amount of bandwidth (i.e. 11Gb) for the consortium. • Requires bidder can route existing ARIN IP addresses, as well as include pricing for IP addresses which may be assigned to Okemos and Lansing. The consortium currently uses a /29 and two /27 blocks in order to deliver services in our current configuration. • Requires bidder to be able to meet both current Internet bandwidth needs, and scale to future Internet bandwidth needs during the term of service. • Requires ability to periodically burst beyond base amount. • Requires ability to purchase additional bandwidth should persistent use in excess of expectations be needed. • Reserves the right to award portions of the bandwidth to multiple vendors if such a solution is in the best interest of the consortium. Vendors may be selected from other bids/contracts including MiSEN. • Participants are currently connected via leased Ethernet over a fiber Wide Area Network (WAN) referred to as “StarNet”.
