OVERVIEW The Fort Zumwalt School District is requesting proposals to provide PRI Telephone and DID Services for district facilities. The successful bidder (the Service Provider ) must be able to provide this service in compliance with regulations of the Schools and Libraries Program (commonly referred to as the E-Rate Program ) of the Universal Service Fund ( USF ) operated by the Universal Service Administration Company (the USAC ), including having a valid Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN number). Proposals from bidders without a SPIN number will not be considered. Award of this proposal is contingent upon the approval of funding from the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Program. The Service Provider agrees to receive a portion of the payment for the provisions of goods and services described herein directly from the USF, and/or its agents, the National Exchange Carrier Associations ( NECA ), and/or the Schools and Libraries Division ( SLD ). Fort Zumwalt School District and the Service Provider will act in a reasonable manner and comply with any Schools and Libraries Universal Service Fund Program requirements as described under Section 254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 C.F.R. #254, and any competitive bidding requirements contained in 47 C.F.R. #54.504. INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS 1. INTERPRETATION OF PLANS AND DOCUMENTS: If any person contemplating submitting a bid for the proposed contract is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the plans, specifications, or other contract documents, or finds discrepancies in, or omissions from, the plans or specifications, the person may submit to the district contact person a written request for an interpretation or correction thereof. The person submitting the request will be responsible for its prompt delivery. Such request must be submitted not less than five (5) days prior to the date set for opening bids. Any interpretation or correction of the contract documents will be made only by written addendum duly issued and a copy of such addendum will be posted on the district web site next to the original RFP document. Fort Zumwalt School District will not be responsible for any other explanations or interpretations of the contract documents. No oral interpretation of any provision in the contract documents will be made to any bidder or binding on Fort Zumwalt School District. The District will provide an opportunity for site visit immediately following the Pre-Bid Conference on February 19, 2016 at 10:00am.

The address and telephone number of the bidder shall be included with the proposal. Failure to sign the bid form shall result in a non-responsive bid. Any omission of prices on required items shown in the proposal form may render the proposal as being incomplete and may become cause for rejection of the bid, in sole discretion of Fort Zumwalt School District. No bidder may withdraw his/her bid before the award of the contract, unless said award is delayed for a period exceeding ninety (90) days. 3. DELIVERY OF PROPOSAL: A. Each proposal or bid shall be completely sealed in a separate envelope, properly addressed to the Fort Zumwalt School District, with the name and address of the bidder and the name of the project for which the bid was submitted, plainly written on the outside of the envelope.

4. BID FORM / TAXES: Only bids made on the provided forms will be considered. As a tax exempt public institution, the Fort Zumwalt is not responsible for state sales tax and such taxes must be properly excluded from any proposal. Service Provider is responsible for any taxes that are applicable to the services and products provided. 5. CONTRACT DEFAULT: Your bid is subject to all terms and conditions as herein established in this bid request and include price, quality, and delivery. Failure to provide services bid by the agreed project timeline and at the prices bid will be considered contract default and the Fort Zumwalt School District reserves the right to declare the contract terminated and to purchase the services on the open market. If the cost of service purchased on the open market is greater than the defaulted contract amount, such increase shall be the responsibility of the defaulted service provider. 6. SERVICE PROVIDER ELIGIBILITY: Service Providers must have an active Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN) assigned by the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD), and maintain the valid SPIN number for the duration of the contract. Failure to maintain a valid SPIN number may result in a default of any contract awarded pursuant to this request for proposals. 7. SERVICE PROVIDER/FORT ZUMWALT SCHOOL DISTRICT RELATIONSHIP: Service Provider s relationship to Fort Zumwalt School District in the performance of services that may be required for certain items shall be that of an independent contractor. The personnel performing services under this contract shall at all times be under Service Provider s exclusive direction and control and shall be employees of bidder and not employees of Fort Zumwalt School District. Bidder shall insure all of its employees performing services under this contract in compliance with the applicable laws relating to workman s compensation and employers liability insurance. 8. NON-DISCRIMINATION AGREEMENT: Service Provider agrees not to discriminate against any client, employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, or age. The bidder must also comply with any applicable affirmative action programs. This provision shall become a material part of the contract and shall be ground, if violated, for termination of the contractual relationship at the discretion of Fort Zumwalt School District. Fort Zumwalt School District 16104 PRI Service Proposal 2016 Page 6 of 21

9. BILLING: Service Provider must be willing to accept direct payment from the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) of the Universal Service Administration Company (USAC) for the eligible portion of services provided. Funding Commitment Consideration As described in E-Rate Program rules, both the Fort Zumwalt School District (District) and the Service Provider will receive a Funding Commitment Decision Letter (FCDL) stating how much of the Service Cost will be paid for by the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) of the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC). The portion of the Service Cost paid for by USAC is defined on the FCDL and is referred to as the Discounted Portion. The difference between the Service Cost and the Discounted Portion is referred to as the Undiscounted Portion. In some cases, the FCDL may state that the funding is completely denied. A Funding Year is synonymous to USAC s definition of a funding year, which is generally from July 1 st until June 30 th of the next year. An FCDL will be issued for each Funding Year, and is only applicable to that Funding Year. Price and Payment if Funding is Approved If the FCDL shows that funding is approved then the District, at its discretion, may choose to have the Amount Due be the Undiscounted Portion instead of the total Service Cost. Price and Payment if Funding is Denied If the FCDL states that funding is completely denied for the Services then the District may terminate the Services on or after the date it receives the FCDL by providing notification in writing ( Termination Notification ) to the Service Provider. Services will be terminated within 15 days after providing Termination Notice. 10. REJECTION OF BIDS: Fort Zumwalt School District reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to not make an award. The award of the contract, if made by Fort Zumwalt School District, will be made to the qualified bidder submitting the most satisfactory bid based on the criteria in Section 13, if it is to Fort Zumwalt School District s best interest to accept such bid. The right is reserved by Fort Zumwalt School District to waive any informalities or errors in the bid that, in the sole opinion of Fort Zumwalt School District, do not materially affect the bid (RCW 43.19). 11. BINDING CONTRACT: A formal contract will be agreed upon by Fort Zumwalt School District and the Service Provider following acceptance of a bid. The issuance of a purchase order by Fort Zumwalt School District to the successful bidder does not form a binding contract. This RFP and bid response shall become part of any contract between the Service Provider and Fort Zumwalt School District. Bidders are to submit a sample contract with their bids.
