Question 1
Posted: 12/14/2020
Question: 1. (page 23, paragraph one) What does the district expect for port speed handoff(s) from the vendor?
Response: Here is that paragraph in question: Rio Rancho Public Schools (RRPS) is seeking proposals for Commodity Internet Services and associated transport. Selected service provider will provide an aggregate of 20 Gbps symmetrical Internet service that can initially provide connectivity up to 20 Gbps with the ability to grow past 20 Gbps of Internet in the future (three to five years). At the current time the district's core switching will not support a 40 Gbps circuit. The provider must indicate upstream peering arrangements and providers to the Tier 1 level. Since the District can not support a 40Gbps handoff -- RRPS would like to have two 10Gbps handoffs "aggregated" for the total of 20Gbps. This question and response will be added to Addenda 1 which requires acknowledgement within your proposal response.
