DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Chicago, Illinois is seeking a vendor to provide network and telephone services for scattered site properties. The scope includes delivering either a static IP address for each property when broadband is proposed or a comparable service such as private SD-WAN. The selected vendor must provide a minimum of 100 Mbps upload and 100 Mbps download at each location.
The vendor may be required to recommend and/or provide network equipment, including modems, routers, or wireless equipment, and must furnish pricing for the listed service equipment. Additional responsibilities include extending data lines into each site's main distribution facilities, setting up, configuring, and installing the selected equipment, and supplying both a service level agreement with an escalation process and a maintenance agreement for any leased or procured equipment.
The contract must support a changing number of locations as sites are added or removed over time, and the vendor must provide a phased deployment schedule for installation. The authority also requires a single business account structure so that all sites can be billed centrally. An in-person pre-proposal conference is scheduled for July 14, 2026, and questions are due by July 16, 2026.
