1 PURCHASING DEPARTMENT 1376 Piedmont Road San Jose, CA (408) (ph) (408) (fax) REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL DUE: Before 2:00 p.m. on Friday March 18, 2016 INTRODUCTION The Berryessa Union School District is requesting proposals from qualified firms interested in providing hosted Interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service to replace all existing telecommunications service and equipment. This request will replace all existing telecommunications services and equipment for the District, including hosted VoIP service for 723 handsets, 200 telephone numbers and the telephone handset equipment. The project and specific services to be provided are described below. The District may wish to (1) enter into a multi-year contract with an eligible provider, (2) elect to extend an existing contract, or (3) may elect to take no action on the responses received. A Form 470 has been filed with the Schools and Library Division for E-Rate FY2016 requesting proposals for Hosted VoIP Telephone Services. All respondents must be an eligible E-Rate telecom provider and provide their SPIN Number with submission of their proposal. Any agreement which might lead to a commitment of funds on behalf of the Berryessa Union School District can be voided if E-Rate funds become unavailable. All responses should be based on costs BEFORE E-Rate discounts are applied. Proposals shall clearly show which services and equipment are E-Rate eligible and which are not E-Rate eligible. 1

2 BACKGROUND In general, the Berryessa Union School District seeks a firm that can provide an Internet Protocol Telephony (VOIP) system. This system will replace the current VoIP telecommunications system and must be capable of meeting anticipated growth. The vendor will host and maintain the VOIP base system in its own facility. The District requires a VOIP system that provides four-digit dialing between locations, a centralized voice mail system that can be used transparently by all locations, and the ability for all locations to appear to be part of a single phone system. The equipment shall be new models and in current production. Reconditioned, remanufactured, or demo models will not be accepted. Respondents should possess and use their extensive knowledge and experience with the communications industry to recommend a creative solution that will meet or exceed the District s requirements. The project requires the design, implementation, support and administration of a hosted VOIP telephone system. Preference will be afforded to the vendor that provides a comprehensive, cost effective solution for current specifications, future capacity requirements, and ongoing service and support. The District s Technology Services Department is comprised of six employees who provide support to a comprehensive internal network system and the related hardware and software necessary to meet the objectives of the District. The Technology Services Department will be responsible for the internal support of the proposed phone system. Due to the lack of a dedicated phone administrator, ease of management and support of the new VOIP system will be a critical feature. The District desires the successful vendor to provide a dedicated project management team that will allow the District to meet the installation timeline. The District currently is operating a wide area network with high speed data transmission service at the following locations and capacity: LOCATION ADDRESS CURRENT CAPACITY DISTRICT OFFICE 1376 Piedmont Road, San Jose, CA Gbps BROOKTREE ELEMENTARY 1781 Olivetree Drive, San Jose, CA Gbps CHERRYWOOD ELEMENTARY 2550 Greengate Drive, San Jose, CA Gbps LANEVIEW ELEMENTARY 2095 Warmwood Lane, San Jose, CA Gbps MAJESTIC WAY ELEMENTARY 1855 Majestic Way, San Jose, CA Gbps MORRILL MIDDLE SCHOOL 1970 Morrill Avenue, San Jose, CA Gbps NOBLE ELEMENTARY 3466 Grossmont Drive, San Jose, CA Gbps NORTHWOOD ELEMENTARY 2760 East Trimble Road, San Jose, CA Gbps PIEDMONT MIDDLE 955 Piedmont Road, San Jose, CA Gbps RUSKIN ELEMENTARY 1401 Turlock Lane, San Jose, CA Gbps SIERRAMONT MIDDLE 3155 Kimlee Drive, San Jose, CA Gbps SUMMERDALE ELEMENTARY 1100 Summerdale Drive, San Jose, CA Gbps TOYON ELEMENTARY 995 Bard Street, San Jose, CA Gbps VINCI PARK ELEMENTARY 1311 Vinci Park Drive, San Jose, CA Gbps The District has two 1Gbps fiber connections to the Santa Clara County Office of Education for Internet access.
