DoIT is issuing this PORFP to obtain data telecommunications services which will provide connectivity to State locations served by a State data aggregation facility. All locations and facilities are identified in Attachment 5. Future requests to expand services to locations not identified in Attachment 5 will be handled as additional PORFP’s under the Data Telecommunications Master Contract. DoIT intends to make separate awards for each location to the Master Contractor that submits the most advantageous offer to this PORFP for that location. Neither a PORFP, nor a PO Agreement, may, in any way, conflict with or supersede the Master Contract. Following award, DoIT will issue a Notice to Proceed (NTP) to each awardee identifying those locations and the type of service (Functional Area) DoIT is requesting be provisioned. No service should be provisioned without a NTP from DoIT. At the State’s sole option, changes in service bandwidth at awarded locations within the general scope of this PORFP may be requested via the Work Order process described in Section 2.9.
