The Superintendent recommends that the Caroline County Board of Education accept the bid as shown on the attached bid sheet and award a contract to Maryland Department of Information Technology, in the total amount of $102,000 for the provision and maintenance of additional business/enterprise class internet access service to CCPS offices and schools. The annual (fiscal year) cost is $20,400. The term of the contract is July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2026.

This award provides all labor, materials, equipment and services necessary for, and incidental to, providing additional business/enterprise class internet access service with 1 gbps symmetrical bandwidth capacity with at least 30 static, publicly accessible, IP addresses for CCPS’ WAN use. CCPS intends for this Additional Bandwidth ISP contract to provide ongoing supplemental ISP services via a physical fiber path that provides diversification from the Primary ISP’s network to prevent downtime in the event of an outage.  This Additional Bandwidth ISP will ensure an alternative physical and logical internet path in the event the existing ISP experiences a physical fiber cut or hardware failure. CCPS intends to seek E-Rate reimbursement for all E-Rate eligible products and services provided under this contract. The funds associated with this project are provided for in the unrestricted operating budget.
The bid process and procedures complied with Board policy and applicable state laws and regulations.
