Attached to this addendum is an Excel document offering responses to vendor questions. Due to questions being received in multiple different formats, and not just through the Q&A functionality in this portal, this was determined to be the most efficient way to respond to vendor questions.
The City of Gary is working to get answers on the exact data center location and the manufacturer & model of the City equipment that the managed service would be connecting to at each location in Attachment D. The City is also working to gather additional data on MDUs. Answers to these questions will be released as soon as they are available.
Thank you for your ongoing engagement with the City of Gary.
