1. At the pre-bid conference you (Mr. Cahill) referenced the availability of co-location facilities for potential Providers. Can you elaborate? SECTION 4.6 OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CIVICNET MEMBERS STATES, TO WIT: THE MEMBERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE NETWORK RESOURCES MIGHT BE SHARED BY NON-CIVICNET ENTITIES. ANY SUCH NON-CIVICNET ENTITY MUST ENTER INTO A WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH CIVICNET PRIOR TO CIVICNET’S AWARDING ANY CONTRACT FOR [PROCUREMENT] OF THE NETWORK. SUCH AGREEMENT MUST BE APPROVED BY AT LEAST TWO-THIRDS OF THE SUPERINTENDNETS OF THE MEMBERS. IN ORDER TO ATTRACT SUCH NON-CIVICNET ENTITIES, EACH MEMBER, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, SHALL PROVIDE, AT NO CHARGE, THE CLOSET SPACE AND OTHER REASONABLE AMENITIES FOR THE CO-LOCATION OF NON-CIVICNET HARDWARE USED BY THE NON-CIVICNET ENTITY. THE NON-CIVICNET ENTITY SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CO-LOCATING SAID HARDWARE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ROOM MODIFICATION, ELECTRICAL SUPPLY, ENERGY USAGE AND MAINTENANCE. EACH CIVICNET MEMBER SHALL GRANT A LICENSE TO THE NON-CIVICNET ENTITIY AND THEIR REPECTIVE ASSIGNS TO ENTER UPON THE MEMBER’S PREMISES FOR PURPOSES OF REPAIR, MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP OF THE NON-CIVICNET ENTITIES’ HARDWARE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE SECTION; PROVIDED THAT REASONABLE NOTICE OF ENTRY SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN PRACTICABLE. 2. Also at the pre-bid conference you (Mr. Cahill) referenced the availability of property tax abatements to potential Providers. Can you elaborate? SECTION 4.5 OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CIVICNET MEMBERS STATES, TO WIT: EACH MEMBER AGREES TO ABATE THE PORPOERTY TAX ON THE IN-PLACE PALNT OWNED BY THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER FOR A PERIOD EQUAL TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT. (CIVICNET MEMBERS, GENERALLY, MAKE UP BETWEEN 50 TO 75% OF THE PROPERTY TAX BILL, DEPENDING UPON LOCALE. IN-PLACE PLANT SHALL BE DEFINED AS ANY FIBER IN THE GROUND OR ON POLES, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, AND ANY FACILITIES USED TO SUPPORT SAID SAME FIBER, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME IS USED IN SUPPORT OF CIVICNET.)
