FCDL Comment:
DR1:A contract for a new service was signed or entered into prior to the expiration of the required 28-day waiting period computed from the date of the posting of the FCC Form 470 to USAC’s web site which violates program rules. Since this requirement was not met, the FRN is denied.||DR2:Documentation provided demonstrates that the price of the eligible products and services was not the primary factor in bid evaluation and the vendor selection. FCC Rules require that applicants consider all bids submitted and select the most cost-effective bid for services or equipment, with price of the eligible products and services being the primary factor considered. Specifically, your vendor selection documentation you provided did not contain price as the primary factor. Two criteria (Total price and cost effectiveness of solution, and support) were scored the same maximum amount of points (30 out of 30). Additionally, your response indicated that more than one consideration other than price was used to calculate the score for total price and cost effectiveness of solution. Since you did not meet the requirements outlined above, this FRN is denied. ||DR3:The FRN is denied for failure to advise bidders that a RFP was issued. An RFP was issued but the referenced FCC Form 470 advised potential bidders that no RFP existed. Program rules require all RFP documentation to be appended to the respective FCC Form 470.||MR1:This is a new FRN. It was split from FRN 2199012044. The new FRN contains the following product(s)/service(s): CON-SNT-XC9120A & CON-SNT-C910AXE2.||MR2:The amount of the funding request was changed from $12,922.00 to $10,466.82 to remove the ineligible product(s) or service(s): 19% of CON-SNT-XC9120A & 19% of CON-SNT-C910AXE2.
