connects directly to our network center.

Q167: Do you have an available VAN fiber pair at Victoria East that can be routed back to your network

center?

A167: Yes, we do have an available VAN fiber pair at Victoria East that can be routed back to our network

center.

Q168: What are the splice points between East High School and your data center?

A168: There are 7 junction points between East High School and our data center.

Victoria Fire Station 5 -> Victoria West High School

The fiber runs through patch panels.

Q170: The pricing tab for ISP Services list 100Mb for 12, 24 and 36 months. The Form 470 lists 10Gb. Do

you want just 10Gb DIA pricing on 12, 24 and 36 months?

scale as well as to plug as many details in regarding building structure such as wall types and thickness in every room. Without this data, the heat maps will not be able to provide a true indication of signal

strength, channel overlap, etc. which will affect the design. For the sites that are not included in the

walk through, can the district mark up the maps to provide the wall structure and any other details in key areas that could cause RF interference?

William Wood Elementary School

Q100: Can you share a port inventory for all closets?

A100: No, there should be no need for a port inventory via Q17. A port inventory (for all ports on each

switch) can be obtained by using the campus charts provided in the RFP.

Q101: Can you share the power budget for all closets?

A101: No.

Q102: What are the runtime and loading requirements for UPS, i.e.- 75% load for 30 minutes, 100% load

for 60 minutes, etc.?

A102: At least 60% load for 120 minutes.

Q103: What is the type and speed of connectivity between WAN sites

A103: Please refer to Q14.

Q104: Can you describe the WAN architecture (Point-to-Point, Hub and Spoke, etc.)?

A104: Please refer to Q14.

Q105: What routing protocol is in use on the WAN?

A105: OSPF.

Q106: What type of optics are required from the vendor or provided by Victoria ISD?

A106: Victoria ISD provides single mode and multi-mode if necessary.

Q107: Is a WAN diagram available?

A107: Yes, please refer to Q14.

Q108: Is there a plan to upgrade T1 sites to Fiber prior to this project?

A108: There is an RFP currently out for upgrading from a T1 to fiber at Mission Valley Elementary.

Q109: Who is the WAN service provider?

A109: Foremost Telecommunications.

Q110: Page 9 describes an HP7506 Core Switch. The network diagram lists a 3Com Core router. What is

the product number of the 7506 (i.e.- JD241B, etc.) and modules?

A110: Refer to Q99.

Q111: Is there a Core network diagram available?

A111: Refer to Q14.

Q112: Do you want the proposals to include a replacement for the legacy HP 7506 switch?

A112: Only if it isn’t compatible with the proposed project.

Q113: Is the legacy 7506 a Modular switch, ie-8800, 7900E, 7550 or other series?

A113: It is a Modular switch.

Q114: Is the legacy 7506 configured with single fabric modules, dual load-sharing fabric modules, or

other?

A114: Single fabric modules.

Q115: Is the legacy 7506 a fully managed Fixed switch, i.e.- 5500G, 4800G, 4500G, 4200G, 5500, 4500, 4210, or other?

A115: Yes.

Q116: What connectivity and bandwidth are available for a centralized controller?

A116: 1 Gbps of fiber optic connection.

Q117: What run time do you need from the UPS supporting the solution?

A117: Please see Q11.

Q118: When providing UPS solution, do you expect the responder to provide the desired run time for the full potential power consumption of the POE switches at a certain location, or just for the estimated

load of the new + current switches based on the number of proposed/installed Access Points?

A118: Full potential power consumption of the POE switches at a certain location.

Q119: If your choice is for load per number of access points installed, can you provide list of access points used per IDF/Switch OR a reading of the current power draw per IDF?

A119: Not applicable.

Q120: Do you need remote management capabilities (webcard) in the UPS units?

A120: No, this is not necessary but can be quoted as an option if the vendor desires.

Q121: Do you need environmental sensors (temp/humidity) for each IDF?

A121: This can be quoted as an option.

Q122: Can you run new or change existing electrical services, or shall the UPS be sized also for the available electrical service?

A122: We can run new electrical services.

Q123: Do you have a list of available electrical services in each IDF/MDF? Example: 15A, 120V; 20A,

120V; 30A, 120V; 30A, 208V?

A123: No.

Q124: Is there space in the existing racks to install the UPS units? How many U space is available per rack

/ per IDF?

A124: Refer to Q99.

Q125: What rack the UPS will be installed in: 2 post rack? 4 post rack? Wall-mount racks?

A125: 2 post and wall-mount racks.

Q126: Does VISD have a spreadsheet listing of the IDF and/or telecom closest(s) with an inventory of

current and/or to be installed networking equipment that is to be protected?

A126: Refer to Q99.

Q127: Does VISD have a ratio and or count of PoE ports that are being currently be used?

A127: Refer to Q17.

Q128: Q8 within Category 2 of the Vendor Questions and Answers – As some 802.11ac APs require

multigigabit connectivity (using LACP, Gig EtherChannel, etc), do the switches in each closet support this

technology? If so, which closets at which campuses?

A128: Refer to Q99.

Q129: Q9 within Category 2 of the Vendor Questions and Answers – If heat maps are an RFP response

requirement, will the district be able to provide the scale for each campus diagram with building

materials used in the construction of said buildings? If the district is unable to provide the scales and

construction for each building, what basis do we, as vendors, have to provide an accurate heat map as

requested?

A129: Refer to Q42.

Q130: Q9 within Category 2 of the Vendor Questions and Answers – To provide an accurate heat map of

any solution, a full site-survey must be conducted at each campus and within each classroom. Is the district open to a full-site survey for all campuses?

A130: No.

Q131: Q11 within Category 2 of the Vendor Questions and Answers – Where are 120 UPSes being

requested within the RFP?

A131: Refer to Q68.

Q132: Q12 and Q13 within Category 2 of the Vendor Questions and Answers – For locations requiring

wireless coverage outside the normal 90m distance limitation for PoE, will the district provide electrical outlets for said APs so fiber LAN connectivity can be utilized?

A132: Yes.

Q133: Q17 within Category 2 of the Vendor Questions and Answers – If there are no PoE ports open for

AP connectivity, then switches must be supplied for new AP connectivity. Since the district does not

have any minimum requirements for switches (answer to Q18), does the district require the new

switches to stack with the existing switches? Are there enough 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps ports for stacking? If

Ethernet ports are undesirable for stacking, please provide model numbers of all switches in each closet, so a comparable switch can be proposed for backplane stacking.

A133: The district does not require the new switches to stack with the existing switches, but it can be quoted as an option. No, refer to Q17. However, Ethernet ports can be used for stacking, as long as

existing Ethernet cables are transferred from one switch to another.

Q134: Q34 within Category 2 of the Vendor Questions and Answers – Which network equipment will the

district personnel configure: switches, routers, firewalls, APs, controllers, central management software, or a combination of these?

A134: All of them.

Q135: RFP 2017-01 Wireless Connectivity Bid Pkg – For common areas noted in the diagrams, will the

district provide maximum capacities for these areas? An example would be Stroman-band.png where a

“Large Concert Hall” can be found; the maximum capacity for this room needs to be specified. The RFP

is unclear with the terminology, “Wireless coverage should provide access for large groups of students and staff during outdoor activities.”

A135: Yes, please see the table below for maximum capacities.
