FCDL Comment:
DR1:The products and services that were requested on your FCC Form 471 (Self-Provisioned Fiber Network) are substantially different than those requested on your FCC Form 470 (Dark Fiber and Lit Fiber). Program rules require applicants to make a bona fide request for services by filing an FCC Form 470. The services requested on your FCC Form 470 must describe the planned service requirements requested on your FCC Form 471. Since you did not meet this Program requirement, the FRN must be denied. ||DR2:Documentation that contained information needed for potential bidders to respond to your RFP was not available for 28 days in the E-rate Productivity Portal before selecting your service provider. On 09/11/2015 and 9/24/2015 you uploaded RFP addenda that contain significant information (e.g. modified scope and entity changes) for the bidders to be able to respond to the FCC Form 470 and RFP. However, this documentation was not available in the E-rate Productivity Portal for 28 days before you selected the service provider. Therefore, this FRN is denied. Program procedures require the FCC Form 470, RFP and any documentation providing the additional or modifying the original information in your FCC Form 470 and/or Request for Proposal be uploaded into the FCC Form 470 in the E-rate Productivity Portal and made available for 28 days before selecting a service provider. ||DR3:It was determined that the special construction charges requested on this FRN are not cost effective and therefore, will be denied. The special construction charges you requested were determined to be outside of the excepted range of construction costs.
