* ELECTRONIC BID SUBMISSIONS ONLY*

The LKDSB will be participating in Wave 2 of the Ontario Ministry of Education Broadband Modernization Program.  Under the program, school boards will connect schools directly to the internet using a Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD WAN) architecture, as opposed to the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) architecture currently employed.  Five (5) LKDSB sites qualify for funding under the program:

·  Chatham Regional Education Centre (CREC) - 476 McNaughton Ave E., Chatham, ON, N7M 5L7

·  Sarnia Education Centre (SEC) - 200 Wellingston St., Sarnia, ON, N7T 7L2

·  Great Lakes Secondary School (GLSS) - 275 Wellington St., Sarnia, ON, N7T 1H1 (future site: 340 Murphy Rd., Sarnia, ON, N7S 2X1)

·  Northern Collegiate Institute Vocational School (NCIVS) - 940 Michigan Ave, Sarnia, N7S 2B1

·  Chatham Kent Secondary School (CKSS) - 285 McNaughton Ave E., Chatham, ON, N7L 2G7

The LKDSB seeks proposals to connect the eligible sites to the internet for a pilot period of two (2) years in order to trial the SD WAN architecture.  Existing MPLS connections will remain in place and services will run in parallel.
