A Work Session to Review an
Agreement for Broadband Network Services in Fauquier County
|
|
Topic Description: |
|
On August 14, 2008, the
Fauquier County Procurement Division issued a Request for
Proposal (RFP) for the services of a qualified Contractor to
provide the resources and expertise to create and maintain a
countywide Broadband Network. A non-mandatory pre-proposal
conference was held August 26, 2008, and three subsequent
clarification addenda issued September 3, 15 and 23, 2008.
Four proposals were received in response to the RFP by the
September 30, 2008 deadline. One proposal was declared
non-responsive and three were then evaluated.
A selection committee made up of three County
representatives reviewed and evaluated the Offerors’
proposals and all clarification question responses. Pending
review of the county financing required through a revenue
bond but guaranteed by the selected vendor, and review of
any/all final contractual documents by the County Attorney,
the committee recommends contract award to Virginia
Broadband, LLC, (VABB) of Culpeper, VA.
