Q1. Explain the steps that you should follow while evaluating the bids document

January 10, 2013 By: Meliza Category: 1st SEM

Answer :  After you close your competitive bidding process, you can evaluate the bids received and choose the bid that is the most cost-effective. You may consider as many factors in your evaluation as you want, but the price of the E-rate eligible products and services must be included as a factor and must be weighted more heavily than any other single factor. Remember that your FCC Form 470 and your Request for Proposals (RFP), if you issued one, must both have been publicly available for the same 28-day period as the FCC Form 470 before you can close your competitive bidding process.

 

If you received one bid, and that bid is cost-effective, you should memorialize that fact with a memo or email for your records. If you did not receive any bids, you can solicit bids. If you currently receive service from a service provider, you can ask your current provider to submit information in response to your FCC Form 470. (more…)

For example, if a person plays 100 rounds of golf a year and plays at a six sigma level, there would be one missed putt every 163 years. (more…)

In the last few years, researchers   have begun to study the link between ERP systems and competitive advantage. This link will be the focus of this paper.

In conclusion, we present some initial findings from two empirical case studies derived from part of the European food industry (more…)
