Basic Maintenance on Internal Connections
The District is seeking maintenance/professional services on equipment/services on Cisco LAN
and WLAN equipment.
E-Rate Eligibility Requirements:
The 2014 E-Rate Eligible Services defines Basic Maintenance as the following:
“Necessary basic maintenance services are defined as follows: ―but for the maintenance at
issue, the connection would not function and serve its intended purpose with the degree of
reliability ordinarily provided in the marketplace to entities receiving such services without ERate discounts 47 C.F.R. §54.502(a)(4)(ii).
The following maintenance services are eligible:
 Repair and upkeep of eligible hardware
 Wire and cable maintenance
 Basic technical support
 Configuration changes
Basic maintenance is eligible for discount only if it is a component of a maintenance agreement
or contract for eligible components. The agreement or contract must specifically identify the
eligible components covered, including product name, model number, and location.”
In addition, in December of 2010, the Federal Communications Commission issued clarifications
in regards to the eligibility of Basic Maintenance of Internal Connections (BMIC) in DA 102355. The FCC stated the following:
“As explained in the Sixth Report and Order, the Commission seeks comment every year on the
proposed list of services and products that are eligible for E-Rate funding and uses several
criteria to determine whether to include a service in the Eligible Services List (ESL) for the ERate program.5 Although the Commission had sought comment on, among other options,
whether it should cease funding for BMIC for funding year 2011, it ultimately decided to retain
BMIC as an eligible priority 2 service for the upcoming funding year.6 In the Sixth Report and
Order, the Commission explained that ‘[r]equests for basic maintenance will continue to be
funded as internal connections if, but for the maintenance at issue, the service would not function
12
and serve its intended purpose with the degree of reliability ordinarily provided in the
marketplace to entities receiving such service.’
In order to avoid the potential waste of E-Rate resources, however, the Commission concluded
that reimbursements for BMIC will be paid only for actual work performed or for hours of
labor actually used. The Commission required applicants and service providers to submit
invoices to the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) for physical work actually
performed, as opposed to invoicing in advance for estimated work that in some circumstances
may never be performed. Moreover, the Commission stated that work invoices should be based
on a reasonable hourly rate or flat fee for the type of service performed and that this process will
ensure that E-Rate funds will be used only when actual services are provided. We clarify that
fixed price BMIC contracts will continue to be eligible for funding, but only for work that is
actually performed under the contract. The Commission’s ruling does not limit contracts eligible
for funding to those that pay service providers on a time and materials basis. For example, if a
service provider offers a flat fee for all maintenance and repairs necessary for the upcoming year
for specific pieces of equipment, the applicant may apply for E-Rate funds for estimated repairs,
and funds will be released when repairs or other maintenance is performed and invoices for the
actual repairs are submitted to USAC. As work is performed, invoices may be submitted to
USAC on a periodic basis during the funding year. We note that USAC, as part of its regular
reviews to ensure that funding is being properly disbursed, may request information from
applicants or service providers in order to verify the accuracy of the amounts invoiced. We
emphasize that applicants should reasonably estimate their anticipated expenses. For example, it
is not reasonable to estimate an amount that would cover the cost of every piece of eligible
equipment. Instead, the estimated amount must be based on verifiable or historical data, such as
previous years’ expenses related to maintenance, the cost of previous or current maintenance
contracts, and the age of the equipment at issue. If a request for funding seems excessive,
especially as compared to requests from previous years, for example, USAC may request
additional information from the applicant to support its estimate. We note that an applicant that
grossly or knowingly submits a request for funding that is far in excess of its needs will violate
the Commission’s requirement that applicants make a bona fide request for funding.
We further clarify that reimbursement is permitted for some other types of BMIC without an
applicant having to demonstrate that work was performed. Services such as software upgrades
and patches, including bug fixes and security patches, and online and telephone-based technical
assistance and tools that are typically standard fixed priced offerings will continue to be funded
as BMIC if the service or equipment would not function and serve its intended purpose with the
degree of reliability ordinarily provided but for these specific services. In many cases the costs
and frequency of these types of services may be difficult to predict or quantify, so we clarify that
reimbursement for these repairs will be permitted without demonstration of work performed, as a
matter of administrative convenience. Therefore, applicants will be allowed to seek
reimbursement of a one-time charge for these services at any time during the funding year. We
explicitly distinguish these types of services from the physical maintenance and repair of
equipment, such as the labor and parts needed to repair equipment at the school or library, which,
as set forth in paragraph 107 of the Sixth Report and Order and clarified above, requires that
work be performed before reimbursement can occur.”
13
Therefore, the District is interested in maintenance agreements that meet FCC eligibility
requirements, such as:
 Time and materials agreements
 Software and technical support, if not bundled with advanced hardware replacement, or
upgradable to advanced hardware replacement
Specifications and Statement of Work:
The contract to be awarded will be considered a Time and Materials (i.e. break-fix maintenance)
contract for the VENDOR. The VENDOR is to provide the Services and Materials described in
this Statement of Work on an as needed basis for a not to exceed expenditure.
The District is looking for a 1-year contract to align with the E-Rate funding year: July 1, 2014
through June 30, 2015. The District will consider contracts with the option for voluntary annual
extensions for up to four (4) calendar years.
The District is interested in quotes for E-Rate eligible services. Any costs that would not be
eligible for E-Rate must be identified by the service provider and placed on a separate cost
submission.
The MVUSD wishes to purchase a maintenance agreement(s), to include repair and upkeep of
eligible data maintenance and basic technical support and configuration changes. The annual unit
cost must be shown on the Maintenance Pricing Proposal. However, for some items or quantities,
the actual maintenance purchase may require a monthly pro-rated amount of the annual unit cost,
in order to begin or terminate in accordance with the E-Rate funding requirements.
The annual unit maintenance cost must include network restoration for data and proactive
maintenance. The annual unit maintenance cost must include all requirements of this request for
quote, including but not limited to, maintenance, all components, necessary tools, equipment,
