Their purpose is to provide secure transport and connectivity among eligible Healthcare Providers (HCPs), partners, and information resources (including Electronic Health Records and other clinical or operational content) necessary to support the delivery of healthcare services within the communities served. Respondents shall propose a transport solution (e.g., MPLS or other comparable technologies such as Dedicated Internet Access). All functionally equivalent transport options will be considered. Preferred solutions are carrier-class services that are dedicated and symmetric, rather than best-effort or asymmetric. Intentions are to maintain existing circuits while retaining the flexibility to upgrade broadband connections during the term of the contract. At minimum, vendors are requested to provide pricing for the following speeds: 6 Mbps, 10 Mbps, 20 Mbps, 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 75Mbps, 100 Mbps, 150 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 300 Mbps, 400 Mbps, 500 Mbps, and 1 Gbps. Any speed within the range being sought may be proposed. The request for pricing at these specified speeds does not limit upgrades at only those speeds. When an upgrade is required, pricing for bandwidth levels not listed (e.g., 125 Mbps) may be sought so long as the bandwidth level falls within the range requested. The purpose of this request is to obtain standardized pricing to support informed, cost- effective decisions regarding potential broadband upgrades during the contract term. Requests for site and service substitutions shall be allowed in accordance with program rules. This provision allows for site and upgrade or change service options throughout the length of the contract. Please include clearly defined service level agreements (SLAs) with measurable performance metrics and non-performance remedies. No preference is given to any specific carrier, provider, or technology. The “A” location shall be the SEARHC - Tenakee Springs Health Center, 109 West Tenakee Avenue, Tenakee Springs, AK 99841 (HCP 119044). The “Z” location for all proposed services shall be the eligible HCP where the circuit terminates such as a Medical Cloud or another location that enables connectivity into the existing network, including an applicant-operated HCP or facility, such as: SEARHC - Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital (HCP #132892). Where applicable, the Medical Cloud may be designed as a resilient, highly available, and hardened environment supporting connectivity to multiple HCPs, partners, and information resources required for healthcare service delivery. The HCP's desired service contract length may exceed 3 years; however, a 3-year term should be provided. All proposed services must be fully operational no later than July 1, 2026. Requests for extensions or exceptions will not be considered. Respondents must include sample or draft service agreements, and SLAs sufficient to allow timely review and evaluation. All proposals must comply with the FCC Rural Health Care (RHC) Telecom Program rules and all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. All questions and offers must be submitted through the ITB portal at http://adsadsi.com/ itb_year_29.asp to ensure equal access to information for all participants.
