Board approves WAN services RFP outcome, staff to proceed with contract
Summary
Staff reported strong proposals for the district WAN RFP and said scoring favored the highest‑value provider per E‑Rate rules; the board approved moving forward with a three‑year contract with two one‑year extensions.
District staff reported that multiple vendors responded to the district's request for proposals for wide‑area network (WAN) services and that the scoring committee recommended proceeding with the highest‑value provider as required under E‑Rate rules when proposals are otherwise comparable.
A public commenter noted AT&T's recent reliability; staff said reliability had been fairly solid for the incumbent and that there was a significant cost difference between the top scorer and the next provider. The proposal discussed a three‑year contract with two one‑year extensions to secure connectivity for the district.
The board moved, seconded and approved proceeding to develop and finalize contract language with the recommended vendor and to continue E‑Rate coordination and procurement steps.
