Re: RFQ FY2026-66 - Configuration of Test Environment for IT Dept
Consultadd Inc. (dba Consultadd Public Services) is pleased to submit this quote for Kodiak Island
Borough RFQ FY2026-66. The Borough's test environment is at a practical completion point: the
fourth Proxmox VE node must be integrated, the shared storage and network dependencies must
be validated, backup and restore procedures must be tested, and staff must receive
documentation they can use after handoff.
Consultadd will perform the engagement through a senior infrastructure engineer experienced in
Linux virtualization, enterprise backup, secure remote administration, and public -sector
infrastructure support. Work will be performed remotely through the Borough's secure VPN and
during Alaska or Pacific Time business hours. Consultadd is currently supporting an IT
infrastructure engagement for the City of Kenai, Alaska, and identifies its Irvine, California office
as the qualifying business location for this RFQ response.
Respectfully submitted,
Bharat Bhate

1. Understanding of the Engagement
Consultadd understands this as a focused configuration, validation, and handoff effort for the
Borough's Proxmox VE test environment. The successful outcome is a four -node cluster that is
stable, segmented, recoverable, documented, and practical forthe IT Departmentto operate after
closeout.
The work will be managed as a controlled remote infrastructure engagement. Initial discovery will
confirm the current cluster state, access model, storage approach, ULAN requirements, Veeam
readiness, migration -test expectations, and staff availability for training. Configuration work will
then proceed in short, verifiable steps so the Borough can see progress without adding
unnecessary administrative burden.

2. Proposed Delivery Approach
The engagement will be delivered through one accountable senior infrastructure engineer. This
keeps decision-making simple, reduces handoff risk, and allows technical work, testing,
documentation, and training to stay consistent from kickoff through final delivery.

step will be verified before the next dependency is configured, including node health, storage
availability, VLAN reachability, HA behavior, backup status, restore results, alert delivery, and staff
walkthrough readiness.

3. Schedule and Communication
Consultadd will adjust the work sequence to the Borough's Notice to Proceed date while
preserving the required June 27, 2026 completion date. The schedule below assumes prompt
VPN access, administrative credentials, staff availability for short validation sessions, and timely
confirmation of storage and network decisions.
Communication will stay lightweight and useful: a kickoff call, weekly written progress updates,
checkpoint reviews at major milestones, and a final handoff session. Blockers requiring Borough
action will be documented with the decision, access, or information needed to keep the schedule
moving.
