Should the Applicant discover that the bidder is on red light status, or if the FCC classifies the bidder as on red-light status before work is performed and invoices are paid, the contract will be null and void and the applicant will have no payment obligations to the bidder.

E-rate rules require the applicants to evaluate the price of eligible goods and services that will be listed on the 471 application during the competitive bidding process. Fees and surcharges that apply but are not listed on the bid will be the responsibility of the bidding company, should their bid be awarded.

Questions Received with Applicant Answers   ( Ask Questions? )




I noticed on the 471 that the existing 1Gb Internet is under contract until June 2019. They are requesting an upgrade from their existing 1Gb. Is the customer willing to pay termination charges to their existing carrier in order to buy a faster circuit as they requested? Or is the existing 471 incorrect when it shows the 1Gb is under contract through June 2019? Thank you!

Answer:
 This is a valid request for new and competitive bids on the services listed, please place a bid if you are interested in doing so.

I am checking to see if there will be a formal or private walk throughs for Royse City ISD Priority solutions?

Answer:
 We are going to schedule walkthroughs on Nov 29th from 9am-12pm only.
