The district will be seeking a bid for POTS including long distance, local and fax. The district is also seeking Centrex service as our current contract is set to expire June 30, 2016. With this in mind we are exploring options of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). We are seeking the most cost effective, best possible solution to our district's phone needs. Vendors/Service providers will notice that the district is advertising for both. Evangeline Parish School District will weigh all options and move forward with the decision that is in the best interest of the school district. E-Rate rules require applicants to evaluate the cost of eligible goods and services and to cost-allocate out the amount for ineligible services from their funding request. If your company will be bidding local phone service, please identify the amount to be cost-allocated out for the ineligible services- DID lines, voicemail, caller ID, inside wire maintenance, 900 call blocking, or other bundled ineligible services. If your company will be bidding on VoIP and/or Hosted VoIP services, please cost-allocate all ineligible equipment in the proposal. All costs must be shown in the proposal, but distinguish between those eligible for E-Rate and those ineligible. Please note that the term "users" listed in the "unit" column cannot be changed on the form 470. The number specified, "200" refers to the approximate number of lines of local telephone service required.
