E-rate Consulting Services

We help alleviate the headaches involved in applying for E-rate funding.  To help manage your procurement process, we can be responsible for some or all of the following:

  • Comprehensive application preparation (all required Erate forms)
  • Related procurement planning & RFP development 
  • Bid evaluation 
  • Billing & reimbursement management 
  • Inter-agency liaison support 
  • Documentation requirements 
  • State master contract guidance 
  • CIPA & other compliance issues
  • Audit & review representation 
  • Appeal guidance 
  • Deadline tracking

We also provide short-term solutions on an as-needed basis.  Whether you are in the midst of staffing changes and need interim support, or if you need assistance in navigating FCC audits or PIA reviews, we can tailor our services to  needs.  There is not any part of the E-rate cycle we do not handle. 

Technology Planning

Since a state-approved technology plan is required for most E-rate funding, we also provide technology planning assistance to help you implement a sound educational technology program.  If you are a charter school or other independent school, you may not be required to have a technology plan.  However, having an approved plan not only makes you eligible for E-rate funding, it may also qualify you for additional funding programs.  Ultimately, a thoughtful, common-sense technology plan that includes all stakeholders charts a crucial course for an effective instructional technology program.
