General Description of Requirement

This Request for Application (the “RFA”) provides an opportunity to submit applications for review by the City and, depending on the City’s evaluation of such application, among other factors, to potentially negotiate with the City to enter into a standing contract for data communications and networking services which may be provided to the City during a period of approximately three to five years.

As noted above, this RFA concerns the City’s interest in, from time to time, procuring data communications and networking services. As specific requirements are not known at this time, the City wishes to enter into standing contracts, in the form of Part D (each an “Agreement”), with a number of suppliers that have the interest and capabilities to provide such services. This would allow the City to call for required services, as and when the need arises. Further information regarding the services that are expected to be required is set out in Part B of the RFA.
