FCDL Comment:
DR1:Based on the documentation you provided during the Fiber Review, you did not consider all of the bids received in response to the FCC Form 470 and/or RFP during your bid evaluation process. Specifically, you did not evaluate Sunesys Lit Fiber bid proposals. Therefore, your FRN is being denied because the winning vendor was not selected in accordance with your bid evaluation process.||MR1:Modified by SLD Per FCC Order 14-189, to prevent warehousing of excess fiber capacity, applicants may only receive funding for special construction charges for a Self-provisioned network if it constructed and lit within the same funding year. If excess strands are being installed that will not be lit during the current FY and will remain dormant until lit for the applicant’s exclusive future use; the applicant must provide a cost allocation for the cost of the unlit strands. The applicant provided the following cost allocation calculation: $82,057.83. Therefore, this FRN has been modified from $646,207.57 to $564,149.74 to account for the fiber strands that will not be lit during this FY.||MR2:The Number of E-rate Eligible Strands for FRN 1799068467 was modified from 288 to 60 to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR3:The Average Cost per Foot of Outside Plant for FRN 1799068467 was modified from $3.05 to $11.10 to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR4:The request for the State/Tribal Match was modified from “Yes” to “No.” During the Fiber Review, it was determined that the Source of State/Tribal funding is not an acceptable source for the match program. Therefore, FRN 1799068467 has been modified from 55.70% to 50%.
