This document outlines the requirements for a telecommunications project at Whidbey Island, focusing on the design and provisioning of a diverse fiber optic network. Key specifications include the necessity for physical pathways to be entirely separate from established government service delivery points, maintaining a minimum of 50 meters separation, waived only within building 2700 on-site. Vendors must provide detailed technical drawings, including route diagrams and measurements for fiber miles and latency. The project demands single-mode fiber capable of supporting 10 Gbps transmission rates while allowing for government-controlled channelization. Additional requirements stress minimal service interruptions, specific response times for repairs, and stringent testing protocols, including a satisfactory 72-hour end-to-end test per ITU standards. The vendor is responsible for maintenance and must ensure service availability of at least 99.5%. Furthermore, the document outlines performance metrics such as error rates, jitter, and round-trip delay, emphasizing rigorous testing and documentation during service acceptance. This RFP reflects the government's commitment to high-performance telecommunications infrastructure while stressing compliance with technical standards and operational reliability.
