Craig,
DynCorp is looking forward to participating in the
electronic pre-proposal conference. Our experience in
broadband networking has demonstrated that local user
systems and connections tend to drive the performance of the
WAN.
We believe that the wide range of capabilities provided by
DynCorp, from information services to local/WAN integration,
can strongly enhance the VT WAN effort.

In order to provide a comprehensive response to the subject
RFP, the Sprint Team requires the following clarifications:

1) Can Virginia Tech project the bandwidth requirements
between the backbone and the Internet for Phase 1 and Phase
2.

2) Can Virginia Tech project the bandwidth requirements
between the backbone and the a public ATM network for Phase
1 and Phase 2.

3) Virginia Tech has stated the new network should connect
to out-of-state networks. Please provide details on quantity
of networks, bandwidth, protocols involved, transport media
and any other pertinent details available.

4) What are the timeframes expected for dial access to the
network? What access speeds and quantity of users
envisioned? What protocols (asynch, PPP, SLIP, X.25, etc.)
will be supported?

5) On page 29 of the RFP, the NPA-NXX for the Eastern Shore
Community College location in Molfa appears to be incorrect.
The listed NPA-NXX, 804-797, appears to be a Danville
location, which is not near the Eastern Shore. Please
clarify.

6) Will a carrier's SONET loop architecture on its backbone
network meet the reliability goals for the WAN in place of
mesh and diversity routing?

7) Can Virginia Tech identify the manufacturer and model
number of the ATM switch that will be procured by the
Universities to be used at the regional hub sites?

8) Section 1.2 states Phase I will be Virginia Tech,
Northern Virginia Graduate Center, New River Community
College, and Blue Ridge Community College. Section 6
references numerous other locations that may be added to
Phase I. Can you please clarify what locations constitute
Phase I for purpose of pricing and evaluation of Phase I.

PLEASE CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THESE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU!

TO: Vendors who have requested RFP #608149

FROM: R.Craig Woods, RFP Coordinator

SUBJECT: Amendment #4 to RFP #608149



Proposal Due Date Extension:

The response due date will be extended one week. Therefore,
section 2.1.5 is amended thus: "Responses due: 3:00 pm,
September 7, 1995."

------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------


Clarification:

Regarding section 7.1, Functional Requirements, item number
1, System Life Cycle Costs for WAN Access.

The intention is for Offerors to identify costs in such a
manner as to permit VT/VCCS/ODU to determine the cost per
site for network access. This applies not only to the pilot
phase but to the full scope of the network.

We realize that not all Offerors can provide access to all
locations identified in RFP section 6, Scope of Network. At
a minimum, however, Offerors must provide costs for all
sites identified in section 6 which are within their service
area. Any sites not included will be presumed to be outside
of the range of their specific proposal.

>Fritzie Greene (703) 904-2421 office/2069 fax

>In order to provide a comprehensive response to the subject
RFP, the Sprint Team requires the following clarifications:

>1) Can Virginia Tech project the bandwidth requirements
between the backbone and the Internet for Phase 1 and Phase
2.

It is expected that Internet access will be provided to
individual sites in variable bandwidth allocations. Ideally,
this would be adjustable depending on time of day and
special application requirements. Depending on the means for
providing access to individual sites or groups of sites
adopted by the service provider, the concept of "bandwidth
between the backbone and the Internet" may be inapplicable.

However, the projected Internet access bandwidth requirement
aggregated among all Phase I participants is projected to be
a 45 megabits per second. For Phase II the minimum aggregate
Internet access bandwidth is projected to be 45 megabits per
second initially and should keep pace with Internet access
point and information exchange advances (in lieu of a
definable "Internet backbone"). Some participants may
require this much bandwidth individually.

>2) Can Virginia Tech project the bandwidth requirements
between the backbone and the a public ATM network for Phase
1 and Phase 2.

It is possible, of course, that the backbone and the "public
ATM network" will be indistinguishable. In general, it
should be possible to establish a virtual circuit between
any participant in Phase I or Phase II and any "reachable"
site at any bandwidth available that meets the functional
requirements.


>3) Virginia Tech has stated the new network should connect
to out-of-state networks. Please provide details on quantity
of networks, bandwidth, protocols involved, transport media
and any other pertinent details available.

We assume you are referring to page 32, Section 7, second
paragraph, last bullet: " * plan to link the Virginia
broadband network with out-of-state networks."

The intention is to indicate our interest in maintaining
interconnectivity to other initiatives. Generally, this will
depend on adherence to a standards-based approach. The onus
will be on service providers to maintain an open, non-
proprietary set of network strategies. Perhaps the "public
ATM network" referred to in question #2 will provide the
vehicle for establishing interconnectivity. If so, then the
appropriate criteria will be compatibility with that
network.



>4) What are the timeframes expected for dial access to the
network? What access speeds and quantity of users
envisioned? What protocols (asynch, PPP, SLIP, X.25, etc.)
will be supported?

Dial access is an optional service. It will be preferable to
establish dial access immediately upon deployment of the
network.

The minimum protocol support must include SLIP and PPP.

Modems employed must support:

- V.34, V.32, V.32bis, and V.22bis protocols. - V.42 error
correction
- V.42bis and MNP-5 compression

The Virginia Community College System has approximately
75,000 full time students and over 200,000 full and part-
time students statewide. It is anticipated that some
percentage of these students will use dial-access services
if available. Other participating institutions also have
large user communities which may participate.



>5) On page 29 of the RFP, the NPA-NXX for the Eastern Shore
Community College location in Molfa appears to be incorrect.
The listed NPA-NXX, 804-797, appears to be a Danville
location, which is not near the Eastern Shore. Please
clarify.

The information in the RFP is incorrect. Actually, there are
two errors for this location. The community name should be
Melfa instead of Molfa. The NPA-NNX code should be 804-787
instead of 804-797.


>6) Will a carrier's SONET loop architecture on its backbone
network meet the reliability goals for the WAN in place of
mesh and diversity routing?

Yes.

>7) Can Virginia Tech identify the manufacturer and model
number of the ATM switch that will be procured by the
Universities to be used at the regional hub sites

Virginia Tech will issue an invitation for bid for ATM
switch equipment for use in our campus internetwork. Once
the IFB is released, we will provide a copy of the
specification to anyone upon request. IFB release is
imminent.

>8) Section 1.2 states Phase I will be Virginia Tech,
Northern Virginia Graduate Center, New River Community
College, and Blue Ridge Community College. Section 6
references numerous other locations that may be added to
Phase I. Can you please clarify what locations constitute
Phase I for purpose of pricing and evaluation of Phase I.

Per addendum #3, the default implementation for Phase I has
been amended to include Virginia Tech, the Northern Virginia
Graduate Center, New River Community College, Blue Ridge
Community College, and Old Dominion University. Per page 4,
paragraph 3, we will permit Offerors to propose alternative
or additional pilot sites. Additionally, in section 1.6
other initiatives led
by VCU, Radford, and ODU are identified for early
participation in Phase I pending feasibility. The intention
is to be as flexible as possible to permit participation by
any capable entity. Offerors should provide enough
information to determine feasibility for participation for
all potential parties.

Per page 4, paragraph 2, Offerors must identify actual fees
which will be assessed for Phase I and must present a good
faith estimate of fees which would be applicable for full
deployment. Offerors MUST provide pricing for all sites
listed in
section 6, Scope of Network which are in their service
areas.

End Sprint Questions

Begin Bell Atlantic Question

>Does Virginia Tech have an IXC (or IXC's) that you would
prefer that the LEC's work with? Would you direct us (the
LEC's) to them by name?

We do not prefer any IXC though that may change pending
results of this procurement. From our perspective, LECs
should work with IXCs or combinations of IXCs to yield the
most effective and economical solution. IXC companies we
know of include Sprint, MCI, AT&T, Metropolitan Fiber
Systems, and Valleynet. Other entities, such at VTIA, may be
in a position to work with LECs to transcend boundaries as
well.

We are aware that regulatory obstacles may prevent Bell
Atlantic and other providers from pursuing the most cost
effective, comprehensive strategies. Per RFP section 1.5,
page 4, paragraph 3, we encourage Offerors to identify these
obstacles within their proposals and to suggest solutions if
possible. We intend to address these issues during contract
negotiation. Per the RFP, Virginia Tech, VCCS, [and ODU]
will in good faith work with Offerors and with the relevant
Virginia state agencies to attempt to coordinate appropriate
solutions.

End Bell Atlantic Question



Begin MCI Question

>In section eight (Evaluation) the RFP states, "Evaluation
of proposals will be performed using a weighted point
system." Please clarify the weighting factors of cost and
all other criteria as discussed in section eight.


We are not yet prepared to disclose actual point assignments
which will be used in the evaluation process. Here are the
generalized criteria listed in order of priority. We may
adjust this list somewhat to create the final evaluation
instrument.

1. Cost
2. References
3. Scaleability and Extendability
4. Functionality
5. Network Management
6. Interoperability
7. Bandwidth
8. Reliability
9. Security

It is anticipated that the evaluation process will be
followed by concurrent contract negotiations with one or
more vendors per section 5.19 of the RFP.
