Lex lot 4 pricing.xlsx

This is a pricing submission template for Lexington School District 1's Lot 4 Dark Fiber Services contract in South Carolina, which involves leased dark fiber with lease, maintenance, operations, and special construction services. The document establishes the framework for vendors to submit pricing for fiber connections between 38 designated sites (LE-1 through LE-38) within the school district. Vendors must complete two primary matrices: the Fiber Route Matrix, which documents the distance in feet for each fiber run between sites, and the Total First Month Costs Matrix, which captures all associated costs for each connection. Following completion of these matrices, vendors must identify the most cost-effective site-to-site connections to serve the entire school district and submit a network design diagram illustrating the proposed connections.

The pricing submission requires vendors to break down costs into specific categories: E-Rate eligible non-recurring costs (special construction including taxes, surcharges, and fees), E-Rate ineligible non-recurring costs (such as state contract administrative fees), monthly maintenance and operations costs, and monthly circuit recurring costs. Vendors must provide one entry per fiber run and ensure all pricing reflects cost-effective options available. The template references USAC Schools and Libraries Program rules and the Eligible Services List to ensure compliance with federal funding requirements for educational institutions. The contract encompasses leased dark fiber services, indicating the school district will not own the fiber infrastructure but will lease capacity for its network connectivity needs.
