FCDL Comment: |
DR1:Applicants are required to conduct a fair and open competitive bid process. Applicants are also required to post the FCC Form 470 and any requests for proposals (or other bidding documentation) in the E-rate Productivity Center and wait at least 28 days prior to selecting the winning bid. If the applicant makes cardinal changes to the FCC Form 470 or to other bidding documents, the applicant must post the updates and wait an additional 28 days prior to selecting the winning bid. During the review, it was determined that the applicant made cardinal changes to the FCC Form 470. Specifically, it was determined that the applicant amended the sites receiving service. As the applicant did not wait 28 days after making cardinal changes to the FCC Form 470 (or other bidding documentation), this FRN is denied.||DR2:Applicants are required to carefully consider all bids received and select the most cost-effective service offering using price of the eligible goods and services as the primary factor. During the review, it was determined that the applicant failed to consider all bids received in its vendor evaluation process. Therefore, this FRN is denied.||MR1:The amount of the funding request was changed from $37,692.48 to $14,134.68 to reflect the correct number of eligible entities to receive services. |
