FCDL Comment:
DR1:The winning vendor was not selected in accordance with the vendor evaluation process described in the vendor selection documentation provided by you during the Fiber Review. Specifically, you accepted a late bid when your RFP clearly indicated "Responses received after the stated deadline will be deemed non-responsive." You did not adhere to your own criteria in the vendor selection process. Therefore, this FRN is denied. ||DR2:The Program rules require that a signed contract or a legally binding agreement with the service provider be in place at the time of the submission of the FCC Form 471 Certification. Documentation was not provided to demonstrate that a contract or a legally binding agreement was in place when the FCC Form 471 Certification was filed; therefore, your FRN is denied. ||DR3:It was determined that the special construction charges requested on this FRN are not cost effective and therefore, will be denied. The special construction charges you requested were determined to be outside of the excepted range of construction costs.||MR1:The Total Project Plant Route Feet for FRN 1699078777 was modified from 15,400 to 12,500 to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR2:The Average Cost Per Foot of Outside Plant for FRN 1699078777 was modified from $19.82 to $24.42 to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR3:Per FCC Order 14-189, to prevent warehousing of excess fiber capacity, applicants may only receive funding for special construction charges for self-provisioned fiber if it is constructed and used within the same funding year. The amount of the funding request was changed from $305,311.00 One-Time Charge to $286,219.07 to remove the cost associated with ineligible excess fiber capacity.
