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 in E-rate Productivity Center 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/RFP. Specifically, it was determined that the applicant provided a response with respect to the number of circuits required in situations where there were multiple Z locations on the Q&A posted to the FCC Form 470. As the applicant did not wait 28 additional days after making cardinal changes to the FCC Form 470/RFP, this FRN is denied.||MR1:Data Transmission and/or Internet Access Services requested in FRN are connected to eligible schools, libraries, and/or NIFs. As a result, the Connection Information questions were modified from “No” to “Yes” on this FRN since services connected to eligible schools, libraries, and/or NIFs are eligible for support.||MR2:The service type was modified from Fiber Ethernet to Dark Fiber to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR3:FRN Line Item # 1999019276.001 was for both 100 Gbps Dark Fiber (No Special Construction) and Taxes and was split to agree with the applicant documentation. The new FRN Line Item # for Taxes is 1999019276.002 for the amount of $132.10. The product or service remaining in the original FRN Line Item # is 100 Gbps Dark Fiber (No Special Construction) for the amount of $494.00.
