DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Jefferson, Georgia is seeking a vendor to provide professional network switching and routing infrastructure equipment and services. The project includes replacing the county’s existing Cisco network switching and routing equipment with new, current-generation Cisco hardware and supplying ongoing professional services to ensure a seamless transition and continued support.

The initiative aims to modernize core IT infrastructure by upgrading to fully supported Cisco platforms, thereby improving performance, reliability, and compliance with modern network management and security standards. The selected vendor will centralize network monitoring, alerting, configuration management, asset tracking, and performance reporting through integration with the county’s existing Auvik environment. The project emphasizes increased operational efficiency, reduced management overhead, and enhanced network uptime through standardized configurations, automation, centralized administration, and proactive monitoring.

Security and compliance are priority objectives, with the vendor expected to implement advanced Cisco security features, network segmentation, access controls, firmware management, and secure configurations. The architecture should be flexible and scalable, enabling future growth, expanding bandwidth needs, and adoption of new technologies and smart government initiatives without major redesigns. The contract period for these services will be one year, with key dates including a mandatory pre–proposal conference on June 18, 2026, and a deadline for questions by June 26, 2026.
