2603 Wireless Access Points and Ethernet

Gwinnett County Public Library (hereafter referred to as "GCPL" or library) is soliciting formal request for proposal (RFP) from
qualified vendors (hereafter referred to as "Vendor" or respondent) for replacement of wireless infrastructure as outlined in the
following specifications. GCPL is requesting proposals for the deployment of wireless access points (APs) at 1 of our 16 locations.
GCPL currently has a combination of Meraki and Fortinet APs deployed across our locations and Fortinet APs at the location being
replaced. In addition to APs, we are requesting 10 new Cat6A ethernet drops.
Proposals should include a recommended number of APs for each location to ensure sufficient coverage. Vendors are encouraged
to provide proposals for deploying Wi-Fi 6 and/or Wi-Fi 6E technology with options for both leasing and owning the equipment.
Additionally, proposals may include as an optional item managed internal broadband services (MIBS) and basic maintenance of
internal connections as part of the solution or as an optional service for ongoing maintenance and support, regardless of whether the
equipment is leased or owned. Optional services are not required for responsiveness and will be evaluated separately. Optional items
must be priced as distinct line items and clearly identified as E-rate eligible or ineligible.
