5 A. INTRODUCTION AND INSTRUCTIONS TO VENDORS A.1 INTRODUCTION The purpose and intent of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to commission a data network to ensure the availability and reliability of the FRCCnet for the transfer of critical real-time data. We invite vendors to submit proposals for data services in accordance with the requirements, terms, and conditions of this Request for Proposal (RFP). This RFP sets forth the requirements for all services and solicits a detailed response from vendors to include pricing and service descriptions in the specified format. Our objective is to enable a highly reliable, private and secure network to ensure data availability at all times on the FRCCnet. A.2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC) is one of eight Regional Entities of the NERC Electric Reliability Organization. The mission of the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council is to ensure and enhance the reliability and adequacy of bulk electricity supply in Florida, now and into the future. We currently host two applications on an MPLS network; 17 entities and 25 total sites, including existing backup sites for 7 entities and 3 application host sites. There is an existing ISDN backup communications network for one of the applications that will be replaced by the MPLS network in this proposal. This proposal is to establish new redundant service at 13 network locations (Listed in Appendix A) allowing us to disconnect the 7 current MPLS backup sites and ISDN scheme. FRCC s most critical application is a real time data sharing application, the Reliability Data Link or RDL. High network availability is required for the RDL since data is exchanged at 10-second intervals. The other application on FRCCNet, FTMS, is utilized intermittently at various times throughout the day, often on an hourly basis. The electric utility industry is a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year operation, and a key part of the national critical infrastructure. January 7, 2013 Page 1
6 A.3 GENERAL CONDITIONS This RFP is not an offer to contract. Acceptance of a proposal neither commits FRCC to award a contract to any vendor, even if all requirements stated in this RFP are met, nor limits our right to negotiate in our best interest. We reserve the right to contract with a vendor for reasons other than lowest price. Failure to answer any question in this RFP may subject the proposal to disqualification. Failure to meet a qualification or requirement will not necessarily subject a proposal to disqualification. A.3.1 Valid Period of Offer The pricing, terms, and conditions stated in your response must remain valid for at least 120 days from the date of delivery of the proposal to the FRCC. A.3.2 Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure The information contained in this RFP (or accumulated through other written or verbal communication) is confidential. It is for proposal purposes only and is not to be disclosed or used for any other purpose. Information received in response to this RFP will be held in strict confidence and not disclosed to any party, other than our company or member companies, without the express written consent of said vendor.

11 B. EXISTING ENVIRONMENT FRCC uses an MPLS Network running two applications to 17 entities and 25 total sites. These services are described below. B.1 DATA SERVICES FRCCNet currently has two applications running on an MPLS network. One of these applications has information updated periodically throughout the day while the third application is a real-time application, which updates every ten seconds. The FRCCNet applications are as follows: o FTMS Florida Transaction Management System. FTMS HTTP front end connectivity is primarily by Internet, and the existing MPLS connection is for backup communications purposes. A small amount of important forecast data, roughly 25 KB in size, are submitted by several entities, on an hourly basis, to the FTMS, via the MPLS network. There are 17 primary entity remote sites, 7 backup remote sites, and one application host site. o FRCC RDL FRCC Reliability Data Link. The RDL is a real time data sharing application for the FRCC Reliability Coordinator function. There are 12 remote sites, 7 backup sites, and two application host sites one primary and one backup.
