26_34 ERATE Wireless COST WORKSHEET.xls

This is an E-Rate Wireless Cost Worksheet for Jones County Schools (JCSS) in Georgia, designed to collect vendor pricing proposals for a one-for-one replacement of wireless access points across multiple school locations. The project requires vendors to provide detailed pricing for equipment and installation costs, separated by E-Rate eligible locations (CRMS, DFES, GES, GSMS, JCHS, TWES, and WES) and E-Rate ineligible locations (JCBOE PreK Transportation Technology). Vendors must uninstall existing access points, install new equipment, and transport removed access points to the Technology office. Installation must occur when students are not present. Bidders are required to submit a detailed project plan that includes hardware lead times, installation timeline, and assigned staff, along with documentation of prior similar projects, experience with K-12 entities, and any previous work completed for Jones County Schools.

The cost worksheet requires vendors to itemize equipment costs and installation costs by location, with pricing clearly separated between E-Rate eligible and ineligible categories to facilitate compliance with E-Rate funding regulations. This structure allows JCSS to accurately track and allocate costs for reimbursement purposes under the E-Rate program, which provides federal discounts for telecommunications and technology services to schools and libraries. The worksheet serves as the primary pricing submission document and will enable the district to compare vendor proposals on a standardized basis across all designated school locations.
