1. PROJECT OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND

1.1 Project Overview

This RFP seeks proposals to upgrade the College’s existing IP network infrastructure, excluding wireless which was upgraded to an Aerohive environment in 2014. In addition to life-cycling components at EOL (end-of-life), the project will upgrade the College’s network topology from a layer-2 design to a tiered layer-3/layer 2 environment and incorporate dual IPv4/IPv6 protocols.

Proposals and installation sequence shall be structured in a manner to provide the College with the most favorable pricing, phased over a 6-9 month period to minimize disruption and match College staffing resources to effectively manage/perform the changes required. The College will accept (and encourages) proposals from vendors that cannot provide equipment for all three PARTS of the network upgrade (firewall only, for example) as long as the proposed components/systems fully interoperate with other components the College may decide to select. This separation is purposely intended to provide the College manufacturer/platform flexibility should pricing and/or feature sets suggest a “best of breed” philosophy be superior to that offered by a single manufacturer:

PART ONE -Core Switching

PART TWO -Network Security/Firewall

PART THREE -Edge switching

BID ALTERNATE #1 -Systemax iPatch

A successful project will include:

Furnish, install and configure network components selected. The College will provide any additional wiring and/or network switching gear that might be necessary to support the final solution.

Provide spare equipment per bid recommendations. QoS controls to allow for expansion of VOIP capabilities Support for full video-streaming and video-distribution over the LAN Stricter inter-VLAN access rules to improve network and data security -- identify,

isolate and control illegitimate traffic or system anomalies. Enable QOS to guarantee bandwidth allocation and prioritization for mission

critical applications and de-prioritization of less critical network traffic.

3



Provide the necessary, scalable network capacity to support instructional technologies for the next five years, including but not limited to, HD/ UHD classroom videoconferencing, internet bandwidth transport support of 2 Gb and 10 Gb on campus network traffic support.

A detailed BOM of equipment and services to upgrade the entire system of all buildings at all four campuses.

Spare parts inventory that supports an appropriate balance of downtime risk, investment cost and procurement latency of warranty replacement components.
