ATTACHMENT_A_-_PRICING_AUTHORIZATION.docx

This document is an Attachment A Pricing Authorization form for the New Haven Free Public Library Network Upgrade project in Connecticut, which is an FCC Form 470 #250024731 E-Rate service procurement. The project involves upgrading network equipment across 5 library sites, specifically requiring 44 switches, 9 access points, and 12 uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), with installation services. Cisco equipment with Meraki Cloud management capabilities is strongly preferred, and vendors must be registered E-Rate service providers with an FCC SPIN number.

The pricing authorization form is designed to capture vendor contact information, authorized signatory details, and provide a formal mechanism for pricing submission. While specific pricing details are not included in this attachment, the document serves as a critical component of the E-Rate competitive bidding process, ensuring that vendors acknowledge the bidding requirements and are legally authorized to submit pricing for the network infrastructure upgrade. The procurement is funded through the E-Rate program, which provides discounted telecommunications and internet access for eligible schools and libraries, suggesting potential federal funding support for this technology infrastructure investment.
