Please name each template for the name of the school and project. Example: “Smith Elementary School Wireless Project” or “Wireless project shared equipment for all schools.” Vendors that do not submit bids in the required template format will be disqualified from the process.
MAINTENANCE BIDS LISTING ONLY AN HOURLY RATE AND NOT A MONTHLY OR ANNUAL TOTAL WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. VENDORS QUOTING AN HOURLY RATE ARE REQUIRED TO ALSO A) CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY/EXPERTISE TO MAINTAIN ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT LISTED AND B) PROPOSE A NUMBER OF HOURS AT A PARTICULAR RATE MONTHLY TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN THE ENTIRE LIST OF EQUIPMENT. BIDS THAT CONTAIN ONLY HOURLY RATES, WITHOUT CONFIRMATION THAT THE COMPANY CAN SERVICE THE LIST OF EQUIPMENT, OR WITHOUT A MONTHLY TOTAL, WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
We would also like for providers bidding on Category Two projects to also submit your bids in normal format – a word/excel/PDF as you normally would. The winning Category Two vendor(s) will be required to complete, for each school and all shared equipment, the 2016 USAC C2 Templates when they become available. Once available, the templates will be due in a 14 day time period.
