DR1: FCC Rules require applicants to retain all documentation regarding the competitive bidding process. During application review, you were asked to provide all bids associated with this funding request and you were unable to do so. <><><><><> DR2: The evaluation sheet/bid evaluation matrix was not provided during selective review. Without the evaluation sheet/bid evaluation matrix, USAC is unable to determine that price was the primary factor in the selection of the vendor. Further it is not apparent that the selection of your vendor was in accordance with the criteria stated in your selective review responses, since an evaluation sheet/bid evaluation matrix was not provided. <><><><><> DR3: During the course of review, you were asked if any service provider employees assisted with the completion of your FCC Form 470 and Request for Proposal. You stated that you are unable to answer these questions. As such, we are unable to make a determination if your school engaged in an open and fair competitive bidding process free from improper service provider involvement and funding is denied. <><><><><> DR4: FCC Rules require applicants to retain all documentation regarding the competitive bidding process.
