FCDL Comment:
DR1:The referenced RFP was not available for 28 days after the filing of the FCC Form 470. Program rules require applicants to wait at least 28 days after releasing an RFP before selecting a service provider, signing a contract or entering into a legally binding agreement, or submitting an FCC Form 471. Therefore, this FRN is denied. ||DR2:Documentation was not provided to demonstrate that price was the primary bid evaluation factor in selecting this service provider's proposal. The Program rules require that applicants select the most cost-effective provider, with price being the primary evaluation factor. Since you did not meet this requirement, this FRN must be denied. ||DR3:The Program rules require that a signed contract or a legally binding agreement with the service provider be in place at the time of the submission of the FCC Form 471 Certification. Documentation was not provided to demonstrate that a contract or a legally binding agreement was in place when the FCC Form 471 Certification was filed; therefore, your FRN is denied.
