| Why is this telecom procurement different than AZNet I? |
- RFP will be issued with terms and conditions and will be contract ready
- RFP will be issued with detailed descriptions of (i) services, (ii) service level agreements, (iii) sanctions/liquidated damages for failing to satisfy performance measures, (iv) roles and responsibilities
- The Provider will perform the refresh and the rates will include an amortization of the refresh cost over the full term of the contract – nothing to sweep
- Agencies have been deeply involved in the development of the requirements
- Other than data network infrastructure, the Provider can propose cloud based services that may substantially lower costs
- Use of third party Telecom Expense Management to control costs and billing errors and increase the transparency of costs so Agencies know what they are spending
