Orange Lot 2 pricing.xlsx

This is a pricing template for leased lit fiber services for the Orangeburg School District in South Carolina, specifically for Lot 2 of a dark fiber services procurement. The document provides a standardized pricing structure for vendors to submit monthly recurring costs (MRC) across a comprehensive range of bandwidth options, spanning from 100 MB to 10,000 MB circuits for business data connectivity. The template requires vendors to identify themselves and populate pricing for two distinct cost categories: E-Rate eligible MRCs, which encompass all costs related to the service including taxes and surcharges, and E-Rate ineligible MRCs, which include administrative fees and similar expenses not covered by the federal E-Rate program.

The pricing structure is designed to accommodate the federal Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) Schools and Libraries Program guidelines, ensuring that participating vendors understand the regulatory framework governing eligible fiber services and associated costs. The document does not specify contract term, renewal options, response dates, or award timelines within the pricing template itself, as it functions as a stand-alone bidding form. Vendors are expected to reference USAC's fiber project guidelines and the Eligible Services List to ensure compliance with federal funding requirements, which are fundamental to this procurement's structure for a South Carolina school district.
