4 II. BACKGROUND Susquehanna Community School District currently uses standard CAT 5 network cable to link all users on our internal network. Susquehanna Community School District intends to install 10 gigabit capable fiber optic cable approximately feet building to building to improve the efficiency and speed of our current network. The option to segment refers to the ability to have separate segments in the building to building and or closet to closet fiber link to accommodate district data/internet, VIOP and Guest Internet traffic. Susquehanna Community School District anticipates a substantial increase in bandwidth, more reliable data transmission, and a reduction in overall network upkeep and hardware. Susquehanna Community School District intends to structure the program's implementation schedule in a manner to minimize the programs financed capital Respondents to this Request for Bid shall identify their experience and qualification to design and install a fiber optic cable capable of supporting a multi-user network. III. SERVICES REQUESTED For this Bid, Susquehanna Community School District is interested in working with a fiber optic networking company for the design and installation of a 10 gigabit capable fiber optic network upgrade. Susquehanna Community School District has the option to contract all or some of the services listed above. The Susquehanna Community School District is requesting bid amounts to replace CAT 5 networking cable with 10 gigabit capacity fiber optic cable. The district is requesting a bid price for the two levels of fiber optic cable listed, 10 gigabit capacity and option for segmented run. Segmented fiber would be for consideration of future expansion of separating traffic such as VOIP, Facility Use Intranet/Internet and Guest Use Intranet/Internet.
