FCDL Comment:
DR1:Applicants are required to conduct a fair and open competitive bid process. Applicants are also required to post the FCC Form 470 and any requests for proposals (or other bidding documentation) in the E-rate Productivity Center and wait at least 28 days prior to selecting the winning bid. If the applicant makes cardinal changes to the FCC Form 470 or to other bidding documents, the applicant must post the updates in E-rate Productivity Center and wait an additional 28 days prior to closing the bid process. During the review, it was determined that the applicant made cardinal changes to the FCC Form 470. Specifically, Addendum No 3 modified the requested network design from a ring topology to a point to point network and was posted on 10/16/2017, 17 days from the due date of 11/02/2017. Addendum No 4 provided clarification on who needed to attend the mandatory meeting and was posted on 10/24/2017, 9 days from the due date of 11/02/2017. Addendum No 5 and revised Proposal Worksheet was posted on 10/27/2017, 6 days from the due date of 11/02/2017. All amendments referenced above represented a cardinal change and the applicant did not wait 28 days after making this cardinal change to the FCC Form 470. Therefore, this FRN is denied.||MR1:The Service Start Date was changed from 1/1/2019 to 6/1/2019 to agree with the documentation provided during the review of the FCC Form 471.||MR2:The Recipients of Service for all FRN Line Items was modified to 23374 William Baer School, 23393 Gilmor Elementary School, 23616 Francis Scott Key Elem School, 23386 Frederick Douglass High School, 16020036 Digital Harbor High School, 23498 William Paca Elementary School, 23286 Dr Martin Luther King Elem Middle, 23612 Federal Hill Elementary School, 16040312 Bcpss Headquarters, and 23610 Sharp Leadenhall Elem School to agree with the applicant documentation. ||MR3:The FRN was modified from $10,000,000.22 One-Time Charge to $552,486.20 One-time Charge to agree with the applicant documentation.
