E-Rate Proposal for E-Rate Category 2 Products and Services
NOTICE TO BIDDERS The BOGALUSA CITY SCHOOLS, aka "DISTRICT," is seeking proposals for Data Plans for WI-FI on buses. The DISTRICT operates three traditional schools and two annexes and is eligible for a 90% E-Rate discount for Category 1 services. The DISTRICT is seeking Wi-Fi connectivity for the buses. There are approximately 15 buses. The FCC has not released the final eligible services list; however, the FCC has approved the service in a Declaratory Order. It is uncertain if the allowable equipment needed for the service will be eligible as a Category 1 or 2 service or both. Therefore, the DISTRICT will file a Category 1 Form 470 for connectivity and service under data plans. A Category 2 Form 470 will also be filed if the equipment is only allowed under Category 2. Sealed proposals must be sent by certified mail, UPS, Fed Ex, or hand-delivered to CITY OF BOGALUSA SCHOOL BOARD OFFICE, or proposals may be uploaded at Https://www.centralauctionhouse.com.
