APPROVAL TO AWARD RFP #17-0395 FOR E-RATE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE EQUIPMENTDescription Proposals to provide 'E-Rate Network Infrastructure Equipment' were received from ten vendors on February 7, 2017. The proposal of CDW-Government, LLC was the best proposal meeting the advertised specifications.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 established a fund by which Schools and Libraries across the Country could access discounts on eligible telecommunications products and services. The program is commonly known as the E-Rate Program. The eligibility for discounts on internet access, telecommunications products and services, internal connections products, services, and maintenance is determined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Funding is made available upon application approval by the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) of the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), which was established by the Act. The amount of discount is based on the number of students receiving free and reduced price meals. This amount is estimated to be funded at 60% from USAC and 40% using District Funds in the Local Area Network budget. Approval of this project is contingent upon funding from the USAC Fund's Schools and Libraries Program, otherwise known as E-Rate and future District funding.
