FCDL Comment:
DR1:Documentation provided indicated that you did not select the most cost-effective bid proposal. FCC rules state that in selecting a provider of eligible services, applicants must carefully consider all bids submitted and must select the most cost-effective service offering. In determining which service offering is the most cost-effective, entities may consider relevant factors other than the pre-discount prices submitted by providers, but price should be the primary factor considered. The FCC further codified in the Ysleta Order that when evaluating bids from prospective service providers, applicants must select the most cost-effective offering from the bids received. The selected bid must itself be cost-effective compared to prices available commercially and stated that “there may be situations…where the price of services is so exorbitant that it cannot, on its face, be cost-effective. For instance, a proposal to sell…, at prices two to three times greater than the prices available from commercial vendors would not be cost-effective, absent extenuating circumstances.” Since you did not choose the most cost-effective vendor or provide extenuating circumstances to why the winning vendor was chosen, this FRN must be denied. ||DR2:The Category Two budget for BEN 90840-LONGFELLOW MIDDLE SCHOOL is $138,889.90 .
