Primary and Secondary Internet Service Provider Contracts

King County is soliciting proposals to establish contracts with a minimum of two Tier 1 class Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The goal is to secure a primary and a secondary contract that will provide a minimum of 99.99% availability and high-speed internet access, utilizing diverse paths. The County relies on internet access to support its internal government functions and to provide public information and services to its residents. The requirement for multiple providers is essential to ensure the necessary level of redundancy.
