FCDL Comment:
DR1:FCC rules require that, in order to determine the most cost effective provider, that the price of the eligible products and services must be weighted the most heavily in your bid evaluation. You included the value of ineligible products and services in your price factor. Other cost factors can be included in your bid evaluation, but these factors cannot have a weighting equal to or more than the cost of the eligible products and services. Since the price of the eligible products and services alone was not weighted the greatest, you violated the competitive bidding program rules.||MR1:The amount of the funding request line item 2099003271.001 was changed from a one-time unit cost of $140,795.00 to a total eligible one-time costs of $71,805.45 remove the ineligible product(s): make Fortinet model FG-3401E-BDL-950-36; the ineligible use of 49%.||MR2:The amount of the funding request line item 2099003271.002 was changed from a one-time unit cost of $140,795.00 to a total eligible one-time costs of $71,805.45 remove the ineligible product(s): make Fortinet model FG-3401E-BDL-950-36; the ineligible use of 49%.||MR3:The amount of the funding request line item 2099003271.004 was changed from a one-time unit cost of $21,823.23 to a total eligible one-time costs of $11,129.85 to remove the ineligible product(s) or service(s): make other model Sales Tax; the ineligible use of 49%.||MR4:The amount of the funding request line item 2099003271.003 was changed from a one-time unit cost of $9,000.00 to a total eligible one-time costs of $4,590.00 to remove the ineligible product(s) or service(s): make other model Optional BorderLAN Professional Services; the ineligible use of 49%.
