• FCC Form 470 # 250023889 shows 100 wireless access points to be installed. How many wireless access points will each school have?


• The RFP states 2,000 ft of cabling, which is only 20 ft per wireless access point if new cabling is required at each access point. Is new cabling required at each wireless access point, or will existing cabling be used?


 • If these are new schools, can diagrams showing MDF and IDF locations be provided?


• Has a wireless survey been conducted for the access point installation location?


• If No, Would the district accept a predictive survey (FREE) in bids provided that the District could share building diagrams of the schools


• The top of the FCC Form 470 # 250023889 shows 9 sites, but in the services section, it states two schools.

• Which Southwest Region schools need wireless access points? Just these two new builds?


• Will lodging be provided for this installation, or should we provide our own lodging?



• Site 1 “Togiak” is estimated to need over 58 access points for proper coverage, While Site 2 “New Stuyahok” is estimated to require over 42 for proper coverage.


• The 2,000 feet of cabling is an estimate for access points that may need new wire pulls but it is expected that existing cabling will also be able to be utilized.


• These are not new schools Floor plans will be attached at the end of this message.


• A wireless survey has not been conducted for these schools.


• The district would accept a survey in the bid, if all applicable rules are followed, if needed to properly complete the project and would as best as possible provide building diagrams as needed.


• The two schools requiring access points are Togiak School and New Stuyahok School (Chief Ivan Blunka). These are not new builds but existing schools needing updated equipment.
