FCDL Comment:
MR1: The Contract Award Date was changed from 02/09/2009 to 02/10/2009 to agree with the applicant documentation. <><><><><> DR1: FCC Rules require an applicant to conduct a fair and open competitive bidding process prior to selecting its service provider. The service provider?s creation of the bid evaluation matrix taints the competitive bidding process. Therefore, funding is denied. <><><><><> DR2: FCC Rules require that applicants carefully consider all bids and select the most cost-effective offer, with price of the eligible goods and services being the primary factor. In this instance, price was not the primary factor in the service provider selection. Therefore, funding is denied.
