FCDL Comment:
DR1:Applicants are required to conduct a fair and open competitive bid process and to provide the same information to all bidders. Applicants are also required to carefully consider all bids received and select the most cost-effective service offering using price of the eligible goods and services as the primary factor. During the review, it was determined that applicant did not use its vendor selection criteria and process as provided in the vendor selection documentation. Specifically, you did not properly score the bids on your vendor selection documentation according to the prices submitted by each vendor, this FRN will be denied. ||DR2:The FCC Form 470 that established the competitive bidding process for this FRN did not include service of this type; therefore, it does not meet the competitive bidding requirements. During the Selective review we determined the service being requested is for Internet Access for 2.5 Mbps, however, the FCC Form 470 only posted for a bandwidth of 10Mb to 500Mb. As a result, this FRN will be denied.
