DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Florida is seeking vendors to provide secure and reliable high-power density colocation services to support its AI technology infrastructure. These services must offer dedicated data center resources capable of hosting agency-owned equipment, ensuring operational continuity, and supporting both current and future IT service delivery needs.
The scope includes colocation space within a controlled, professionally managed data center environment with associated power and energy services, rack installation, and fiber cross-connectivity. Requirements involve a secure, dedicated mesh cage enclosure that can accommodate eight contiguous racks, with vendor-supplied cabinets and an initial deployment activating four racks. The layout must support direct-to-chip water cooling for both immediate and future rack placements.
Specifications call for a high-density power architecture with 2N redundant power distribution units supporting up to 80 kW continuous load and 20 kW per active rack. The facility should utilize an on-site chilled water plant system and be water-to-chip cooling ready. Additional requirements include a hybrid billing model with commitment incentives, a defined geographic radius for dark fiber connectivity, carrier neutrality, support for direct dark fiber termination, and robust physical security including compliance certifications, access control, mantraps, and continuous surveillance. The contract period is for three years.
