May 21, 2015 Addendum No. 3 Solicitation No. 2015-RFP-12 Independent School District No. 9 (Union Public Schools) Tulsa County, Oklahoma Bidders: Please note the following changes, additions, modifications, or clarifications to the 2015-RFP-12, VoIP Phone System, Request for Proposal. This Addendum No. 1 is hereby incorporated into the solicitation package. Clarifications and Questions: 1. Clarification on Addendum 2, Question 2: The three (3) schools' PRI lines are as follows: Boevers Elementary Dial tone is provided through gateway by PRI-T-1, circuit 23 channel located at Rosa Parks Elementary. Boevers has three (3) existing POTS lines; Briarglen Elementary same as Boevers Elementary. Briarglen has four (4) existing POTS lines; Roy Clark Elmentary Dial tone is provided through gateway by PRI-T-1 located at the Union 8 th Grade Center. Roy Clark Elementary has three (3) existing POTS lines; All equipment necessary, e.g. gateway routers, for dial tone in and out of these schools will need to be included as part of the proposal. As a point of further clarification, for sites that do not have local PRI lines, all voice traffic traverses over the WAN connection to the centralized call manager and then is routed to whatever PRI is appropriate. Any system integrating with the CISCO solution would need to be able to transmit the call over the WAN and hand off the call to the CISCO call manager. 2. Where incoming PRI s service is provided to specific schools, the Demarc is located in the communications closet at those schools. Schools with PRIs: Rosa Parks Elementary 1 Cedar Ridge Elementary - 1 Jarman Elementary -1 Union 9 th Grade Center -1 Union 6/7 th Grade Center -1 Union Education Service Center (ESC) - 2 Union High School-1 Union 8 th Grade Center 1 Union Communication Bunker (Old ESC) 2 3. Clarification of Addendum 2, Question 12: Redundancy. As a fully redundant system would be ideal, the District has a limited number of phone lines at these three elementary schools, and the District does NOT intend to install any additional lines as a means for fault tolerance or failure. The question is really centered on the bidder s equipment architectural design/topology to identify possible single points of failures and how those points could be enhanced in order to make a determination if additional expense for equipment and services is appropriate to provide fault tolerance. For example, if all calls are routed 1
through a single call manager, then the District would want to install at least two systems large enough to continue operations, if one failed, since the call manager would cause disruption for the entire site. However, if there is a voice router at the site that could be a single point of failure, the District might determination, that instead of buying redundant devices for every site, a single device could be purchased as a cold spare that would swap out when needed. 4. Clarification on Addendum 2; Question 13: Boevers, Briarglen and Roy Clark elementary will need approximately 280 handsets. The quantity specified on the bid sheet references the total anticipated handsets for the entire school district. 5. Reminder: Due to the Holiday Weekend and number of questions submitted, the bid due date has been changed to 09:00 a.m., Thursday, May 28, 2015.

May 26, 2015 Addendum No. 4 Solicitation No. 2015-RFP-12 Independent School District No. 9 (Union Public Schools) Tulsa County, Oklahoma Bidders: Please note the following changes, additions, modifications, or clarifications to the 2015-RFP-12, VoIP Phone System, Request for Proposal. This Addendum No. 4 is hereby incorporated into the solicitation package. Final Clarifications and Questions: 1. What type of interface is required for overhead paging/intercom system? Ans. The intercoms at the three schools are all Rauland Borg Telecenter Systems with (1) 250 watt amplifier. Each school will require at least eight (8) paging zones. The intercoms interface with the exiting VoIP Cisco Routers using an FXO Port on the router. The intercoms provide the dial tone out to the FXO port. 2. Is inter-site paging required? Ans. No, only intra-site paging. 3. How many analog devices and stations are there in three (3) schools specified? Ans. Boevers Elementary: 1 fax machine, and (1) DHS card reader; Briarglen: One (1) fax machine, one (1) DHS card reader; Roy Clark: two (2) fax machines, one (1) cafeteria extension bell, and one (1) DHS card reader. 4. How many simultaneous calls does the system need to accommodate over the SIP truck integration between each site and the Cisco Call Manager, including access to/from the PRI s? Ans. Based on the number of handsets for the three schools, the maximum would be 280. If all handsets were used simultaneously, which is doubtful, the total calls would be about 280. 5.
