Proposal for Lit Fiber With Special Construction -NM Location Only

The Navajo Nation Broadband Office seeks a vendor to design, construct, and operate lit‑fiber Ethernet service for four New Mexico tribal chapter houses/libraries, delivering a minimum of 1 Gbps symmetric bandwidth with options up to 10 Gbps. The contract includes all special construction (conduit, trenching, interior pathways, permits, testing, etc.), ongoing maintenance of premise equipment, and full compliance with E‑Rate funding requirements. Vendors must submit detailed cost breakdowns for both recurring service and one‑time construction, meet stringent performance SLAs, and provide a growth clause for future upgrades. • Provide lit‑fiber service (minimum 1 Gbps) to four NM chapter‑house/library sites, with optional higher‑speed tiers. • Deliver and amortize a comprehensive “special construction” package covering all civil works, permitting, and equipment installation. • Meet robust SLA requirements: ≥ 99.99 % availability, ≤ 30 ms latency, 4‑hour MTTR, 24 × 7 monitoring, and full protocol support (TCP/IP, QoS, routing, multicast). • Submit proposals by August 14 2026; award expected August 30 2026; service to commence July 1 2027 and run through June 30 2030 (with up to two 1‑year extensions). • Must satisfy licensing, SPIN, experience, insurance/bond, and Navajo tribal‑preference criteria.
