Overview and General Information1.1OverviewThe Office of Purchasing & Contracting on behalf of the Vermont Department of Information andInnovation (DII) is soliciting competitive sealed, fixed price proposals (Proposals) for its PrimaryData Center Colocation Services (the Work) from qualified offerors. If a suitable offer is made inresponse to this Request for Proposal (RFP), the Department of Information and Innovation mayenter into a contract (the Contract) to have the selected offeror (the Contractor) perform all orpart of the Work. This RFP provides details on what is required to submit a Proposal in responseto this RFP, how DII will evaluate the Proposals, and what will be required of the Contractor inperforming the Work.This is a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals (RFP) to pre‐qualify vendors who can performthe service described in Section 3 of this RFP.Structure and Scope of RFP: DII is seeking proposals for primary data center colocation space.The State of Vermont is one of the largest data center consumers in the State and is looking toconsolidate its Primary Data Center into one colocation facility in Montpelier, VT area bydeveloping a long‐term relationship with a well qualified data center provider. DII is not currentlyseeking managed services proposals as part of the scope of this RFP.Objective of RFP:Identify a well‐qualified data center provider capable of providing long‐term, secured, reliable,and cost‐effective data center collocation services in the Montpelier, VT area.Department Background and Philosophy:The Department of Information and Innovation was created in 2003 to provide direction andoversight for all activities directly related to information technology within state government,including telecommunications services, information technology equipment, software,accessibility, and networks in state government. The CIO and Commissioner of DII havebroad authority to meet the goals of the department as established by statute and policy.It is the responsibility of DII to ensure the continued delivery of IT systems that are scalable,interoperable, sustainable and secure throughout state government.Compatibility with State Standards and existing Technology:It is assumed that state and federal requirements with regards to IRS 1075, HIPAA, FISMA etc. canbe met. The state anticipates having access to auditable logs for facility access and will beincluded in configuration and change management processes deemed applicable to state businessor service level agreement with vendor.RFP Version: 05032012Page3
Current Business Environment:As information technologies that deliver good business value continue to expand, so will the needfor these technologies to remain available and resilient. Over the past several years the directionto service orient all facets of information technology has continued to grow with advancements ininteroperability, network throughput and cloud service delivery.The State has not kept pace with adequate Data Center facilities and continues to suffer from truedata center expertise. As we continue to consolidate data centers, data rooms and closets, itbecomes more critical to establish a best in class data center capacity and processes. Leveragingdata center capacity in a co‐location fashion is thought to be the most efficient and effective wayto deliver better data center services for all state systems now and in the future.As we continue to consolidate physical equipment and establish a more robust “Virtualized FirstPolicy” throughout the state, our physical space and power requirements will peak in or about2013. It is assumed that this capacity will start to reduce after that over the next 5‐10 years asmore cloud based solutions “Software as a Service”, “Platform as a Service” mature. For thesereasons, the State is looking at data center hosting solutions that can scale up and down asneeded.2Schedule of EventsThe expected timetable, including the Proposal due Date and other important dates, are setforth below.
