1 Statement of Work

1.1 Purpose Quinault Indian Nation (“QIN”) issues this solicitation for bids for a turnkey wireless/fiber broadband solution installation to provide broadband services to our residents on the Quinault Reservation, located on the beautiful Pacific Coast of Washington State.

Summary

QIN would like to build a broadband network on the reservation to serve enrolled tribal members and residents that live in reservation communities of Taholah, Queets, Santiago Estates (FTTH only) and the Quinault Village. This project includes immediate deployment of community Wi-Fi currently in place, to be accomplished by the end of November 2017.

Project: - Wi-Fi and FTTH Network Design and Engineering - Feasibility study for possible microwave upgrade - Wi-Fi Equipment Purchase - Wireless Infrastructure Installation

2 General Information

2.1 Background

The Quinault Indian Nation (QIN) is located on the Olympic peninsula in Washington State. The reservation consists of over 200,000 acres of productive forestland and nearly 30 miles of rugged pristine coastline. It has approximately 3,000 members, about half of whom live on the Quinault Reservation. There are four residential areas on the Reservation that are the focus of this bid.

2.2 Schedule of Events

If you are interested in providing the services identified as part of this RFB, please submit a bid adhering to the requirements and form identified herein.

Timeline project

2.3 Criteria for Selection The evaluation of each Vendor response to this RFB will be based on its demonstrated competence, compliance, format, and organization. Evaluation Criteria:

4 Infrastructure Installations

Below the communities are listed, along with building quantities:

Taholah o 250 Buildings (240 Homes + Government) o 47.338818, -124.287237

Q Village o 75 Buildings (65 Homes Built) o 47.253509, -124.190212

Queets

o 60 Buildings (45 Homes + Government) o 47.535577, -124.332394

QIN desires to deploy Wi-Fi broadband and FTTH networks across these communities, providing broadband to homes through the installation of Wi-Fi CPE such as Ubiquiti and Mikrotik mounted outdoors and, in rare instances, indoors providing an Ethernet drop to the home. The APs are not intended to provide connectivity directly to end-user devices in the home, however will provide outdoor connections to end-users and visitors who lack cellular signal as well as QIN public safety, first responders and other mobile employees.

The APs will be placed strategically throughout the community, mounted to government buildings, utility poles, towers, and in the future, strand-mounted in the upcoming deployment of a QIN FTTH network. Prior to the FTTH system deployment, the root nodes will be placed at various government buildings within the community and likely connected by Cat5, however will be transitioned to the FTTH network once it is operational. Based on previous heat/propagation maps, node locations have been assessed and will be available ahead of the fall deployment. Please refer to attachments for further information on nodes. QIN is seeking vendor input on the radio manufacturer and technology, and therefore QIN does not have detailed diagrams of the assemblies, however below we provide a general outline of tasks that should cover most or all installations. It should be noted that whatever hardware is selected needs to be compatible with the existing infrastructure utilized by the QIN government at this time.

QIN also may elect to install a battery/solar panel to root nodes.
