Orange Lot 5 pricing.xlsx

This is a pricing submission template for dark fiber leasing services for the Orangeburg School District in South Carolina, specifically for Lot 5 of a fiber infrastructure project. The document provides bidders with standardized matrices to submit fiber route distances and monthly recurring costs for dark fiber connections between 31 identified sites within the school district (labeled OB-1 through OB-31). Vendors are required to complete two primary spreadsheets: a Fiber Route Matrix showing the distance in feet for each fiber run between sites, and an MRC (Monthly Recurring Cost) Matrix displaying lease rates in dollars for each connection. Bidders must then select the most cost-effective site-to-site connections to provide comprehensive service coverage to the entire school district and submit this information in a summary table, along with a network design diagram illustrating the proposed connections.

The pricing submission must include all available options and comply with USAC (Universal Service Administrative Company) Schools and Libraries Program rules regarding fiber projects and eligible services. The template indicates that pricing should be presented without maintenance costs in the monthly recurring cost calculations. Vendors are instructed to add rows as needed to accommodate multiple circuit selections in the final pricing summary table. The document references USAC guidelines and the Eligible Services List to ensure compliance with federal program requirements for school district telecommunications infrastructure funding.
