SCOPE OF PROPOSAL

The Llano Independent School District (“LISD” or “District”) is accepting competitive sealed proposals

(RFP) from qualified Local service providers to provide leased lit fiber transport service. The purpose of

this competitive sealed proposal is to provide a standard from which to evaluate your company’s service

as they compare to other providers and as they pertain to the needs of LISD as defined in this document.

Due to the increased utilization of the Internet by students, staff, and administration, LISD intends to

establish a Point of Presence in the Austin area for Internet and related services (requested in associated

RFPs). This RFP is to request the connectivity between the District node, Packsaddle Elementary School,

150 Pioneer Lane, Kingsland, TX 78369, to Austin Carrier Neutral Edge Data Centers on a providers

network for Internet transport. The connectivity (transport) request is for a 1 Gbps upgradeable to 10

Gbps, or a 10 Gbps leased lit fiber Ethernet service between Packsaddle Elementary School, 150 Pioneer

Lane, Kingsland, TX 78369 and to a Internet POP within the Austin Metropolitan Area.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Llano ISD is located in central Texas with campuses in Llano, Texas and Kingsland, TX. Llano ISD student enrollment is 1,797 students served by four campuses. It is the intent of Llano ISD to build the wide area network and Internet network infrastructure systems to meet the near and long term needs of the district based on the recommendations of the FCC E-rate Modernization Order 2.0 with a solution that provides reliability, scalability and bandwidth requirements of the district. The WAN requirements for The District are 10 Gbps to all campuses on a fiber based network and the Internet requirements are 210 Mbps scalable to 2.1 Gbps for Internet and 10 Gbps Transport to support the Internet, Cloud, extended WAN needs of the District. The FCC Erate Modernization Order established an Internet connectivity goal of 100 Mb per 1,000 users

by 2014 (increasing to 1 Gbps per 1,000 users by 2017) and WAN connectivity goal of 10 Gbps per 1,000

users by 2017.

Short Term Internet* 0.21 Gbps 0.1 Gb/1000 Users* 2014 Long Term Internet* 2.14 Gbps 1.0 Gb/1000 Users* 2017 Long Term WAN* 21.38 Gbps 10.0 Gb/1000 Users* 2017 Llano ISD has an extended local WAN via a District-owned Point-to-Point Wireless Connection to our remote campus, Packsaddle Elementary School, located in Kingsland Texas. The Point-to-Point connection is approximately 20 miles. It is the intent of LISD to build a fiber based solution between Llano, TX and Packsaddle ES in Kingsland, TX to connect their district. This lit or dark fiber service is requested in a separate but related RFP.

The Network Operation Center and the current Internet Point of Presence for the District is currently located at Llano Junior High School located at 400 Hwy 71 East, Llano, TX 78643. LISD plans to move the District Internet Service to Packsaddle ES for Connectivity via the Lit Fiber Transport Service back to Austin to an Internet Provider.

SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS The objective of this Proposal option is to obtain a proposal for high speed broadband network connectivity from the

District’s Sites to Provider Port Service Locations within the Austin Area for Internet and related services

connectivity. The proposer also will provide all equipment, technical support, maintenance and operations of both

the equipment and fiber infrastructure for this service.

An acceptable proposal does not have to include all listed Provider Location sites but will provide the District the

available location on-net for the provider. The District request services from LISD Internet Service Points of

Presence referred to as LocA: Packsaddle Elementary School, Kingland, TX.

Possible Carrier Neutral Data Centers and Carrier Hotels within the Austin market include, but are not limited to:

LocZ Option 1: Data Foundry, 7401 E Ben White Blvd, Austin, TX 78741

LocZ Option 2: Data Foundry, 4100 Smith School Road, Austin, TX 78744

LocZ Option 3: UT Data Center – NOC A. 304 East 24th St.. Austin, TX 78712

LocZ Option 4: Cyrus One, 7301 Metropolis Dr #6. Austin, TX 78744

LocZ Option 5: zCoLo, 7218 McNeil Dr, Austin, TX 78729

LocZ Option 6: Other Locations

LISD request 10 GbE transport services from the District Hub Site to Service Provider Port locations within the

Austin area referred to as LocZ Options # above. The service must be a fully-managed optical wavelength based

service circuits with the ability to add additional 10 Gbps services (or equivalent solution) or a Layer 2 Ethernet

service either MPLS or Metro Ethernet.

The proposal will include the cross connect cost to the Service Provider port at the carrier hotel. If the specific cost

is not available, the provider should verify that they will/can provide the cross connect at the location to available

providers at the to-be determined price.

The District will have the option to add additional 10 GbE connections from a LocA Hub site as needed to the same

or different available LocZ sites on the providers network location provided within the proposal.

The proposal should provide detailed technical descriptions of the service. LISD will evaluate the solutions that

meet the District’s needs in the most cost-effective solution over a long-term contract evaluation.

The fiber network that supports the lit service must have a robust design that provides a high level of service

availability and lack of down time and maintenance. The underlying fiber network will have diverse, non-collapsed

public routes when possible to meet the design requirements and to provide the most cost effective overall design.

Total cost of eligible E-rate services is the highest weighted criteria for selection.

LISD requests pricing for a five year term contract with the option to extend to an additional five years and with a

one-year optional extension on the terms.

The request expects that the service will be part of an overall high speed transport service network. The proposal

will provide for one-time cost including but not limited to, easements, routes, pole attachments, project

management, engineering, capital expenditures, network resource allocation and/or build out to deliver the service to

LISD.

All non-recurring cost should be specified as installation or special construction within the definition of E-rate rules.

The monthly recurring charges should reflect service cost for usage.

The acceptable lit fiber solution should provide for a one-time cost for an additional 10 Gbps services or a one-time

cost to increase the 10 Gbps services to higher bandwidth.

Lit Fiber Technical Specifications

The proposal will provide a solution that meets the near term and long-term service connectivity needs of the district

including the following priority requirements:

3 Acceptable lit fiber based solution will include, but are not limited to, optical networking using wavelength-

division multiplexing (WDM), Layer 2 Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) or Layer 2 Metro Ethernet.

The proposal should clearly describe the type of service.

4 Layer 2 (802.1q/802.1p) VLAN and QoS tags must be allowed through the provided network connection and

must remain unchanged by the provider.

5 Ethernet frames containing a 1500 byte payload (for a total minimum supported Ethernet frame size of 1542

bytes), must be allowed and flow as a single complete frame without any fragmentation by the provider’s

equipment.

6 Protocols and network configurations including but not limited to, QoS, Multicast, Unicast, Layer 3 routing,

802.1q tagged frames, 802.1ad provider bridging, VLAN will be passed through the provider untouched and

delivered according to Llano ISD. These services will follow open standard and industry best practices.

7 Circuit performance must support jitter and latency sensitive applications and services including but not limited

to, Video over IP, VOIP, and multi-Data Center Synchronous Applications. The included service level

agreement should include the average jitter values and network latency between points within the network and

the disclosure by what method these values will be calculated. For example, IETF standards for RTP such as

RFC 3550 and RFC 3611 defines some methods such as Mean packet to packet delay variation, Mean absolute

packet delay variation, Packet delay variation histograms and Y.1541 IPDV Parameter.

8 The proposed network will be capable of transparently transporting all aspects of Ethernet LAN protocols.

9 The network interface to the customer’s CPE must be a 10 Gb Ethernet with 802.3 10GBASE interface. The

proposal will clearly define the 10GBASE interface type required for each service connection as 10GBASE-SR,

10GBASE-LR, 10GBASE-ER, 10BASE-ZR or other as specified.

Lit Fiber Proposal Cost

Proposals will address the impact of normal growth, as well as planned and unplanned network expansion or service

enhancement. All prices shall be proposed as an individual location/school cost on a recurring or non-recurring

basis. All Proposer costs must be reflected in either the monthly recurring or non-recurring charges. All fees,

taxes and pass through charges such as USF must also be included in the cost. Estimated fees are acceptable

but no fees may be omitted from the proposal. No additional charges will be accepted.

The quantities provided are for the sole purpose of assisting the Proposers in preparation of their proposals and for

Llano ISD to consider the feasibility of the proposed network solutions. Llano ISD shall not be responsible for any

cost that is not identified in the Proposer’s cost proposal. Llano ISD will not consider proposals that offer discounts

based upon the number of network locations that join the network.

Any costs which are not eligible for E-rate discounts must be identified.

The proposal prices listed must include the cost of doing business as indicated below. Simply placing a cost number

in the appropriate cell is all that is needed.

Monthly Recurring Cost

The proposal should clearly show the monthly recurring cost for the proposed service. It is expected that the

service is part of the overall network services of the service provider and LISD will only pay an associated cost for

the service to the District.

Installation Charges

Non-recurring installation charges including but limited to, installation/set-up, provisioning, equipment, network

configuration cost shall be delineated in the cost portion of the proposal.

All fees that would be incurred for a fully functioning end-to-end connection, whether recurring or non-recurring,

must be included in the cost. All cross-connect, and facilities related charges that would be incurred to physically

connect the circuit to Llano ISD equipment on both ends must be included in the cost.

Special Construction Charges

E-rate discounts can be applied to special construction charges in the first year of the contract.

For the purposes of the E-rate Program, special construction charges are the upfront, non-recurring costs of

deploying new fiber or upgraded facilities to E-rate eligible entities. Special construction consists of three

components: Construction of network facilities; Design and engineering; and Project management.

Proposal Cost Tabulation

The proposal cost will be tabulated with the intent to award made based on the monthly recurring costs multiplied by

the applicable length of service in months, not to include extensions, plus the one-time non-recurring costs including

installation plus the special construction cost. The proposal will be tabulated with the impact of available funding,

including E-rate and State Match, for the total cost to the District.
