MR1:Based on the applicant’s request, 17014790 Las Vegas City Schools has been added as Recipients of Service on the FRN’s Product and Service Details.||MR2:This FRN is for both Lit Fiber (Special Construction) and Network Equipment and was split in order to conduct an independent review of these respective services. The FRN for Network Equipment is 1799054110 line item 002. The product(s)/service(s) remaining in the original FRN are Lit Fiber (Special Construction).||MR3:The FRN was modified from one-time charge of $762,600 to one-time charge of $743,968.39 to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR4:The FRN was modified from one-time charge of $743,968.39 to one-time charge of $743,374.39 to remove the cost associated with the network equipment.||MR5:Per FCC Order 14-189, to prevent warehousing of excess fiber capacity, applicants may only receive funding for special construction charges for Lit Fiber or Leased Dark Fiber if it is lit within the same funding year. If excess strands are being installed that will not be lit during the current FY and will be used by an ineligible entity or for an ineligible purpose; the applicant must provide a cost allocation for any variable costs of installing a higher strand cable as opposed to installing the strands needed just for the applicant’s exclusive use. The amount of the funding request was changed from $743,374.39 to $697,314.97 to remove $46,059.42 associated with ineligible excess fiber capacity.||MR6:The Cost Per Foot for FRN was modified from $11.04 to $11.85 to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR7:Applicants that seek E-rate support for special construction of broadband connections may be eligible for an additional discount to match state, Tribal government, or other federal agency funding for special construction charges. If the special construction of the broadband connections meets the FCC’s long-term connectivity goals (scalable 10Gbps per 1000 students), the applicants may be eligible for up to an additional 10% discount to match state funding on a one-to-one dollar basis (not to exceed 100%). During the Fiber Review, the “Special Construction State/Tribal Match Percentage” was modified from $38,115.00 to $34,865.75 based on the review of third-party data.
