No bidders conference or site visit is mentioned in the solicitation.
Evaluation of proposals will be weighted as follows: 30 percent on price of E-Rate eligible goods and services, 28 percent on compatibility with existing infrastructure, 22 percent on prior experience with K-12 E-Rate projects, 10 percent on technical understanding of needs, and 10 percent on vendor financial stability. Bidders must guarantee pricing for the entire 24-month project duration and certify that they are authorized resellers in compliance with the FCC's Lowest Corresponding Price (LCP) rule.
