| Status Memo: |
DR1:Based on the documentation you provided during the review process, FRN 1899067857 is denied because you did not select the most cost-effective bid proposal. FCC rules state that in selecting a provider of eligible services, applicants must carefully consider all bids submitted and must select the most cost-effective service offering. In determining which service offering is the most cost-effective, entities may consider relevant factors other than the pre-discount prices submitted by providers, but price should be the primary factor considered. The FCC further codified in the Ysleta Order that In evaluating bids from prospective service providers, applicants must select the most cost-effective offering from the bids received. The selected bid must itself be cost-effective compared to prices available commercially and stated that “there may be situations…where the price of services is so exorbitant that it cannot, on its face, be cost-effective. For instance, a proposal to sell services at prices two to three times greater than the prices available from commercial vendors would not be cost-effective, absent extenuating circumstances.” You received a bid from Brooklyn Mailing & Communications at an amount of $2,500.00 per month for 50Mbps Internet Services, a bid from Lightpath at an amount of $1,100.00 per month for Internet Services at 100 Mbps. You selected a bid from Brooklyn Mailing & Communications for an amount of $2,500.00. The bid chosen is over two - three times more costly than the bid offering from Lightpath. This violates the FCC requirement that applicants select the most cost-effective offering from the bids received absent extenuating circumstances. During the review you did not present extenuating circumstances which mitigates your choice of a bid over two to three times greater than the price available from another commercial vendor. |
