The City of Escalon (“City”) invites qualified, available and interested firm(s) to submit written proposals to provide contracted Installation and Managed Operations of a Wireless Networking Internet Services Backbone. Existing Infrastructure: The City has multiple locations, each served by the city’s computer network to allow for internet, e-mail, cameras, and file access. The Corporation Yard, Wastewater Treatment Plant, and Community Center are connected to City Hall via wireless point-to-point radio links. These first links were installed in the early 2000s and have been upgraded multiple times to meet the city’s growing bandwidth needs. The point-to-point links are nearing the end of their useful life and having trouble delivering connections that are strong and fast enough to meet the city’s needs. To offer better service and achieve cost savings, many cities are moving away from having their own links and engaging with internet service providers (ISP’s) to provide them with a managed network service. These agreements became increasingly popular after the 2018 FCC Small Cell order required public agencies to open their assets to private carriers where possible. Expected Performance: The City requesting symmetric (the upload speed is the same as the download speed) connections with a target minimum connection speed of 500 megabits per second (Mbps). A target speed was requested instead of a guaranteed speed because not all locations are equally serviceable. Agreement Duration: The agreement is expected to be offered and agreed upon by the provider for a minimum of 5 years. (based upon the full build-out of 20 sites). Additionally, the project has been designed to allow for extensive future growth to incorporate traffic cameras, license plate readers, and the city’s SCADA system. Bonds required. Prevailing wages.
