FCDL Comment:
DR1:Documentation provided demonstrates that the price of the eligible products and services was not the primary factor in bid evaluation and the vendor selection. Specifically, vendor evaluation documentation provided specific to bids received in response to the establishing FCC Form 470 cited for the FRN, Funding Year 2017 FCC Form 470# 170050331, does not clearly establish that price of E-rate eligible goods and services was the primary vendor evaluation consideration. In your response it was stated that price was the sole consideration in the evaluation process. However, vendor evaluation documentation provided indicates that the price evaluation included services ineligible for E-rate support. Additionally, multiple vendors were awarded service, not just the sole vendor determined to offer the lowest price for E-rate eligible goods and services. FCC Rules require that applicants consider all bids submitted and select the most cost-effective bid for services or equipment, with price of the eligible products and services being the primary factor considered. Since you did not meet this requirement, this FRN is denied.||DR2:The FRN is denied for failure to advise bidders that a RFP was issued. A RFP was issued but the referenced FCC Form 470, FCC Form 470# 170050331, did not specifically indicate that there was an RFP issued in association with the Form 470.
