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.

Answer:
1) Would it be possible to get the names of the 12 schools? - They are all INCA Community Services Headstart
2) Which site will be the hub? - We would like to use two sites as hub sites. Atoka and Tishomingo, OK, specifically the Tishomingo location on Capital Street.
3) The 470 lists a maximum bandwidth speeds of 2Gb. Will you consider bids for 1Gb at each edge site besides the two sites that ask for 2Gb? - Yes
4) The 470 does not indicate what the district wants delivered at the hub? Are you asking/allowing over subscription? Basically, I'm asking if you want the sum of the parts to equal what is delivered at the hub. For example, if you want 1 Gb to be delivered to your 11 edge sites, then you would be asking for 11 Gb to be delivered at the hub. It is very common for districts to only clarify what they want delivered at their edge sites and to neglect to mention the hub. This allows incumbents to over-subscribe your network.- Slight over subscription is not a problem but we would like to keep it relatively equal.
