2403-Wide Area Network Services

Gwinnett County Public Library is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to establish a private, fiber-connected Wide Area Network (WAN) that will serve as a reliable layer 2 backbone across its multiple locations in Georgia. The current network infrastructure includes fifteen AT&T ASEoD connections and a dedicated Point-to-Point link to a disaster recovery site, with all connections terminating at the library’s headquarters. The new WAN service must support VLAN-based configurations, and vendors are expected to provide necessary equipment, management information bases (MIBs), and security services as needed. An additional connection from the disaster recovery site back to the headquarters is also required to ensure seamless data and service continuity. The library emphasizes the importance of vendors demonstrating proven experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining core network technologies, with a focus on network stability and seamless integration across remote sites and the main facility. The contract, titled "2403-Wide Area Network Services," is open for responses until February 28, 2025, with project funding estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000. The solicitation is managed by Gwinnett County Public Library under the NAICS code 561612, which pertains to technical consulting and support services. Interested vendors can find additional details and submit proposals through the designated online portal. The library seeks a solution that ensures robust, scalable, and secure network connectivity to support its expanding service footprint, including a new location opening in summer 2025. The primary contact for this solicitation is Jessica Fulks, reachable via email or phone for further inquiries.
