Background
:
The Administration is requesting authorization to waive the three-year term limit of Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) and extend a contract with EdTech Strategies, LLC for E-Rate consulting services.
The E-Rate program is propagated by the Federal Communications Commission to provide funding to schools and libraries to develop, implement and maintain technological services. Given the stringent rules and regulations governing the E-Rate program, the District engages a consultant to advise on all aspects of the application process for E-Rate funding and the continuing obligations faced after funding is received. This consultation and advisement is needed to continue the District’s successful participation in this program; from 2003 through 2017, MPS has received E-Rate funding commitments of over $77M.
Given the familiarity of the District's current consultant with MPS's internal processes and procedures regarding E-Rate, the Administration is requesting a waiver of the three-year term limit of 3.09 to extend the current contract for an additional one-year term with the possibility of an additional one-year term thereafter. EdTech Strategies, LLC has served as the District's consultant since 2010. The current contract results from a RFP issued in 2015 to test the marketplace. The Administration is asking to continue the current contract as there would be a significant learning curve - and concurrent risk to the District's E-Rate funding - if a change in consultants was made at this time. The Administration will issue a RFP in 2020.
