The Berryessa Union School District invites vendors to submit proposals in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Request for Proposal (RFP).  This RFP details the services being sought, requirements, and evaluative criteria for upgrading the existing capacity of the wide area network (WAN) to all District locations and requests a response from all prospective vendors, including pricing and service descriptions. 

 

The Berryessa Union School District is dependent upon E-Rate, CTF, and District funding to acquire the services requested in this Request for Proposal.  All respondents must participate in both E-Rate and CTF and any agreement which might lead to a commitment of funds on the part of the District can be voided if either E-Rate or CTF funds become unavailable.  All responses should be based on costs BEFORE E-Rate and CTF discounts are applied.  All proposals submitted must contain both contracted costs including any and all equipment and one-time set up or construction charges and the recurring month-to-month costs.

 

This request for proposal does not commit the Berryessa Union School District to award a contract, to pay for any costs incurred in the preparation of a proposal, or to procure or contract the services or supplies.  The Berryessa Union School District reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals received as a result of the request, to negotiate with any qualified source, or to cancel in part or in its entirety the Request for Proposals if it is in the best interest of the Berryessa Union School District.  The District may require the firm selected to participate in negotiations, and to permit such price, technical or other revision of their proposals as may result from said negotiations.  The selected firm’s proposal will be submitted to the Board of Trustees for consideration of award.  The decision of the Board is final.
