Section 6 Statement of Work
6.1 General
Objective
The objective of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to seek competitive Proposal for
Ethiopian Management Institute at its branch in Debrzeit (DMTC) on the Supply,
Implementation and configuration, training wired LAN and wireless LAN
Infrastructure and integrated to head office main data center.
Ethiopian Management Institute (EMI) has more than 50 years of experience in designing and
Delivering a number of management development programs that aim at enhancing the managerial
Capacity of public, private and NGO sectors.
Since its establishment, we have been the forefront in the endeavor to introduce modern
Management administrative systems to our country. We have been providing training, consultancy
And research services in the field of management and related areas.
We offer several training programs annually on a number of relevant topics in our facilities at the
Head office in Addis Ababa which is located between GurdSholla and Ethiopian Civil Service
University and at Debrezeit Management Training Center (DMTC), which is mainly used as a
Residential training center. We also offer tailor-made trainings at clients premises on requests
Bases.
As a result of changing environment worldwide, the ongoing Public Service Capacity Building
Program in the country and our responsibility as one of the resource bases for capacity building of
Public, private and NGOs, we have transformed ourselves in order to play an active role in building
Capacities of other organizations.
In view of addressing the National Capacity Building Programs and act as strong change agent so as
To bring a paradigm shift in its service delivery, we have updated our training programs catalogue
For the year 20012/13.

6.3 PROJECT SCOPE
For the purpose of expressing the desired level of equipment and services, some
Brand names might be referred inside the document. Please be aware and informed
That to propose equivalent alternatives are also acceptable. The intention of
Mentioning the brand names is to have good understanding of the requirement,
Not to be vendor specific bid.
Infrastructure implementation of the institute planned to follow in one phased and in one
LOT approach as shown below.
Phase 1 DMTC wired LAN/WAN and wireless network infrastructure.
One phase is further categorizedin toin one Lot, Lot 1 DMTC wired LAN /WAN wireless LAN
Network infrastructure.
Vendor proposals for the infrastructure will include the following elements:
48 | P a g e
Hardware and accessories (e.g., network cabling, switches, routers, Firewalls etc.)
Software
Implementation services, including installation
Technical training & support
Ongoing hardware/software maintenance
Training Proposal including course syllable, Duration and method of delivery.
Generally, the existing DMTCnetwork isnot scalable and has very low performance.
Realizing this fact, the agency needs to have scalable, available, secured and high
Performance toachieve thecompanys business andtechnical goalsusing state-of-the-art
Network design methodologies. Finally for sake of your information the mainoffice existing
Network infrastructure is not flat. As shown in the figure below thecurrent supportLAN,

Based on the network situation in Ethiopia, our network topology is shown in figure as follows.
The call is routed to local phone directly if the called number is local number.
The user access the voice network with IP phone. If the normal phone will available for the system,
The IAD device will be deployed on the user access sides.( but not functional because of ISP technical problem
)
Note; If you have any clarification to integrate the main data center to the new proposed IT infrastructure at
DMTC,you should be contact the concerned body as we describe in the above of bid document(BDS)
EMI is planning to expand its IT office communication service delivery through its head office to its
Branch (DMTC), over the Internet, VPN (worda Net) to desktop computers, IP phone VC,
Handhelddevices.Theinstitute also planning implements a set of network
Technologies and services targeted at implementing the DMTC wired and wireless
LAN network infrastructure and integrates to main head office data center.
The institute wants to make sure that these internal applications and data are
Always available and highly secure, no matter what access method its employees
Choose.
To this end, EMI desires to have a network infrastructure solution with the following
Mandatory features:
53 | P a g e
NO Feature Remarks
2 Hierarchical
Deliver the required equipments and other related materials and Installing them for setting up a
Working Network
Preparation and delivery of Installation work plan
Cabling work must follow structured cabling standards
Client-server architecture that runs on Ethernet LAN architecture for the DMTC network is proposed
Appropriate number of wall plate RJ-45 cable (patch cable) for each access
Node must be submitted, and every end should be covered with the jack.
The Network should be capable of delivering 1Gbps or more to each
Workstation
Total Number of Node required from the Network is around 200
Detail sketch of wiring and entire network map shall be submitted up upon completion of network
installation
The network and all devices attached must be protected from unauthorized access, as well as viruses and
worms
Replaces, restore, or bring to the original condition any damage to floors ceilings, walls, furniture, grounds
54 | P a g e
pavements ,sidewalks, etc caused the installation of the proposed solution
All cabling has to be in line with ISO 11801 (Noting that the ISO/IEC- 11801 Generic
Customer Premises Cabling standard is an international cabling standard that is based on the
ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 cabling standard.)
All the hardware, software, and accessories shall be provisioned as per
Technical specification
.
The Network that is going to be designed and implemented at the DMTC should satisfy
The current needs as well as future changes. The DMTC recommends Collapsed Hierarchical
Network design model to address the DMTC networking needs. The model includes the
Following layers:
The access layer: - The access layer is the entry point for user workstations and wireless
Access point to the network. A switch is used at this layer.
The Core/ distribution layer: - The purpose of this layer is to provide boundary definition
And is the place at which packet manipulation can take place. This layer is a high-speed
Switching backbone and should be designed to switch packets as fast as possible.
This layered approach is selected because
The use of a hierarchical design model will make it easier to make changes
To the network as the organization grows. In such modular design, as each
Element in the network design requires change, the cost and complexity of
Making the upgrade is constrained to a small subset of the overall network.
Using a hierarchical design simplifies the task required for internetworking.
Each layer can be focused on specific functions, thereby allowing
The networking designerto choose the right systems and features for the layer.
Improved fault isolation is also facilitated by modular structuring of the network
Intotransition points in the network, which helps identify failure points.
As the DMTC future requirement show, the connectivity will be extended to its blocks,
Thus the layered approach helps the easy routing and switching of bulk of data from place to
Place in a desired fashion.

The ASA firewall defines the outside perimeter between the internet and the DMZ, and also
Firewall defines the perimeter between the DMZ and the internal network.
The firewall systems chosen shall carryout state full inspection and
Multiple layers of firewalls shall manage the access control. At the same time more specific content level
