  2. E-rate for CaliforniaCALNET 2 AND CALNET 3 UPDATESFebruary 12, 2013

  3. Webinar Assumption • The following presentation is for those applicants that used the State CALNET 2 contract last year. • The guidance provided is based upon this assumption • If you have never used CALNET 2 in the past, then continue using your existing process. But, check in with us next fall. Link Resources: http://www.usac.org/_res/documents/sl/pdf/contracts/Scenario-b.pdf http://www.usac.org/sl/applicants/step03/state-replacement-contracts.asp http://www.usac.org/sl/applicants/step03/state-master-contracts.aspx

  4. The role of CA Dept of Ed and State Library General Information about E-rate • CDE/K-12 HSN & State Library: • Have no statutory authority to administer the federal E-rate program • May only offer general information about the E-rate program including: training and outreach, reference materials, and other publicly available SLD/USAC resources • The following information is provided to assist applicants with their applications. It is remains each applicant’s responsibility to ensure FCC/USAC, State, and local agency rules and practices are followed. All liability and risk rests upon each applicant for E-rate approval.

  5. CALNET 2 expires January 29, 2014 CALNET 2 Expiration • Expiration falls mid-way through E-rate Funding Year 2013 • No extensions will occur • Applicants need to plan for services from January 30, 2014 – June 30, 2014 (at a minimum) • MSAs 1 and 2 AT&T services (landline services and long distance) • MSAs 3 and 4 Verizon services (VoIP)

  6. Important Deadlines • If you are on CALNET 2 now (& most public sector CA Education/Library applicants are), then YOU MUST DECIDE for upcoming funding year what you will do for all YOUR services on CALNET 2 contract • Option 1…OR Option 2 • BY NO LATER THAN: • ASAP! • LAST DAY TO POST Form 470 (February 14, 2013)  • Otherwise, you will not be eligible to receive E-rate for 5 months of upcoming YR 2013/2014 • Form 471 application deadline is 8:59 PM March 14, 2013

  7. Filing for Services AFTER January 29, 2014 CALNET 3 Status • As noted on previous slide, California Office of Technology Services (OTech) posted a State Form 470, but contract(s) will be awarded AFTER the close of the Yr 2013/14 E-rate Form 471 filing deadline. • Applicants may use two strategies addressing services starting after January 29, 2014: • Option 1: Use State Master Contract Replacement SPIN as a placeholder and reference newly posted State Form 470 • Option 2: Conduct your own Form 470/bidding processes • Note that Option 2 may be REQUIRED for certain types of services (Not All Telecomm Services were on the current state Form 470)

  8. Applicants may use SMC SPIN for period between January 30 – June 30, 2014 Option 1: CALNET 3 State Master Contract Replacement (“SMC”) • Applicant will file at least two funding requests on Form 471 in FY 2013 (perhaps more) • Applicant will file one or more funding requests under CALNET 2 from July 1, 2013 through January 29, 2014 • Review contracts/MSAs to determine number of FRNs • Applicant will file a placeholder funding request on Form 471 to cover January 30 – June 30, 2014, referencing State Form 470 335470001069064 • SMC SPIN 143999999 will be referenced for this period • Each CALNET 2 FRN will be replaced by a CALNET 3 FRN on a one-to-one basis

  9. Rules for using SMC SPIN Option 1: CALNET 3 State Master Contract Replacement (“SMC”) • Applicant must have been receiving services from CALNET 2 http://www.usac.org/sl/applicants/step03/state-replacement-contracts.aspx “Conditions That Apply to Both Scenarios” • Services on SMC funding request MUST be covered by the new CALNET 3 State Form 470 AND old CALNET 2 State Form 470 • See grid of services later in presentation for services • Both the funding requests for CALNET 2 and the SMC MUST be filed on the same Form 471 • SMC SPIN 143999999 available NOW – don’t wait to file! • Applicant MUST accept services from the awarded service provider(s) under CALNET 3 • Rates on SMC FRN cannot exceed CALNET 2 rates • BEST PRACTICE is to file separate Form 471 for CALNET 2/3

  10. Applicants must file Form 470 for services January 30, 2014 – June 30, 2014 Option 2: Applicant Conducts its Own Form 470/Bidding Process • Applicant will file at least two funding requests on Form 471 in FY 2013 • Applicant will file a funding request under CALNET 2 from July 1, 2013 through January 29, 2014 • Applicant posts its own Form 470 and conducts a competitive bidding process compliant with state and federal rules for Telecommunications Services and Internet Access for services between January and June 2014 (at a minimum) • Second funding request will be based upon awarded service provider resulting from the state’s competitive bidding process

  11. Grid Information Clarification Grid Information • Please note that all grid information uses the most recent details available at the time of this presentation, Feb. 12, 2013. • The State may post an additional form 470 that could add to the available services on the state master contract for E-rate purposes. However, this will be done outside the window, and will not be available for the current E-rate window.
