· Provide and install category 5 (100BASET) station drops to at least 105 locations. This does not include the previously cabled station drops in the main building. All station drops are to be terminated on RJ45 category 5 AMP jacks and certified to 100BASET specifications.

· Provide and install a fiber optics backbone to each of (3) IDF's. This is to include a (6) Fiber run to each of the buildings.

· Provide and install above ground conduit and raceway as required. All in-ground conduit is supplied by RUSD.

· Provide and install (1) voice station drop per classroom. All horizontal cable runs are to originate from existing building IDF's.

· Label, test, and certify all installed cable and fiber, producing either printed or electronic proof of certification.

Section 1 - Network

The design of the school site's local area network is: Fiber optic backbone consisting of 3COM routers, switches, file servers (defined in Section 2), Category 5 wiring to individual drops (defined in Section 5), hubs, repeaters and 3COM Transcend software.

Vendors are to provide proposals for LAN: Fast Ethernet backbone, Gigabyte backbone and ATM backbone.

Section 2 - File Servers

The District wide area network is designed with Microsoft NT-Server as the network backbone of the District Office and NT-Servers at each remote location. Microsoft BackOffice is implemented at the District Office and each remote site. Exchange is the District messaging system with Microsoft Outlook used for the Internet mail.

All components of the file server are to be installed and operational by the vendor.

These systems must be configured to run in the enterprise mode/version of software so as to communicate with the District office and other remote locations.

Each location must be installed and operational within 4 consecutive days or a penalty of $500 per day after the 4th day will be charged.

Installing vendor must be a certified Microsoft System Provider.

System configuration documentation must be provided to District prior to the system being accepted.
