The DPU requires commercial broadband service with statically assigned Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, minimum data transfer rates of 300 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload, and unlimited data transfer. The contractor must provide a guarantee of 99.9% uptime. The DPU also requires business level cable television. The channel package shall contain local and national news channels, provided in high definition, with four digital cable boxes. INSTALLATION The contractor, or internet service provider (ISP), will be responsible for the installation of the necessary infrastructure and equipment required to establish the connection to the internet. DPU requires the installation of two lines from the line of demarcation at the State Police facility at the front of the property to the DPU building (first and second floors). If there are no existing physical connections from the VA DPU RC to the ISP, the contractor is responsible for the construction required to install the physical layer. The contractor is responsible for installation, and replacement, of equipment from the digital cable boxes out to the ISP's infrastructure. This includes running cables from the exterior to the interior where the modem(s) and cable boxes will be located within the DPU RC. The government will provide modems as government-furnished equipment (GFE). The contractor is not responsible for modem failures. MAINTENANCE In the event of equipment failure, the contractor is responsible for replacing faulty equipment within 48 hours. The contractor is also responsible for repair of external infrastructure in the event of natural disasters. Broadband service provider must provide the VA DPU with advance notice of network outages or downtime including scheduled maintenance.
