NTIA Feedback Sub-recipient agreement with City of Madison Agreement completed 6/30/11 Executed by 8/1/11 Conduit/fiber appraisal Market rate for 25.75mi of conduit & 5.75mi of 96ct FOC In-kind match with non-federal funds (FHA) Sub-recipient agreement with City of Madison Agreement completed 6/30/11 Executed by 8/1/11 Conduit/fiber appraisal Market rate for 25.75mi of conduit & 5.75mi of 96ct FOC In-kind match with non-federal funds (FHA)

14. MUFN Phase 4 What is MUFN phase 4? POTENTIAL construction beyond our initial grant proposal with “excess” funds MUST pass through NTIA (service/census block) and EA screens again Anticipated start 4/15/2012 and likely end 12/2012 NEED PRIORITIZED LIST OF SITES BY 6/3/11 NEED 1 CONSORTIUM MEMBER REPRESENTATIVE BY 6/3/11 FOR APPROVALS OF NEW LOCATION (MAJORITY VOTE) What is MUFN phase 4?

15. MUFN Phase 4 POTENTIAL UNRANKED criteria to select new locations to serve Priority based on pro-rate share of $530k cash match Proximity to existing MUFN locations (<$ additions) Clustering of sites (>>> bang for $$$) Location within MUFN service areas included in grant application “Need” (# of people served & broadband connection upgrade benefit) Consideration for consortium members who dropped sites or had partial work done on grant sites What do you think about this criteria and proposed selection process???
