Ethernet Transport Services for Public Safety Endpoints

The North Dakota IT Department is soliciting proposals for dedicated Ethernet transport services to connect public safety endpoints over the STAGEnet backbone. Required services include point-to-point and multipoint Ethernet circuits, minimum guaranteed bandwidth levels, network redundancy, 24/7 monitoring, and rapid fault resolution in support of critical first-responder communications. Proposers must provide detailed network design, service-level agreements with uptime and repair-time guarantees, and secure operations in compliance with state standards.
