Specifications include, but are not limited to: UCA is looking for a vendor or partnering vendors to provide a fiber connection between the facilities. It is contemplated that UCA will enter into an agreement with the lowest price offeror for the network connection subject to a comparison of the received bids. Mandatory Minimum Requirements: Any offered fiber link needs to be existing “On Net” connections capable of at least 50Mbps. Please bid at 50 Mbps and 100 Mbps. The fiber circuit will need to terminate inside the radio equipment shelters and have either a NIB or optical router that can facilitate an electrical rj45 handoff to the UCA router. Demarcation at Tonaquint will need to be less than 100’ from the St. George City demarcation point. Pricing should reflect a “point-to-point link” and should provide both the one-time costs and any recurring costs for a ten-year period of time. This will be considered the total cost and shall form the basis of comparing competing offerors. UCA is requesting an October 13th project completion deadline and Offerors should quote the project pricing based on this deadline. UCA is requiring a high availability, ultra-low latency configuration capable of at least 50 AND 100 Mbps ethernet being able to accommodate a required MTU size of 9000 bytes. Any copper cabling must be protected with lightning suppression, transtector type devices at the point of entry into the communications shelter. Any contract resulting from this proposal will include, but not be limited to the Utah Communications Authority’s Standard Terms and Conditions for Goods and Services ("Standard Terms and Conditions"), a copy of which are attached hereto as Exhibit B.
