ATTACHMENT E – Project Plan (key phases and milestones to demonstrate degree of completion)

• Use the following table to list the major network build-out phases and milestones that can demonstrate that your entire project will be substantially complete by the end of Year 2 and fully complete by the end of Year 3. This is to be done at the aggregate level (combining all proposed funded service areas.)

• Indicate how the milestones listed below will demonstrate these completion objectives. The applicant should consider such project areas as: a) network design; b) securing all relevant licenses and agreements; c) site preparation; d) equipment procurement; e) inside plant deployment; f) outside plant deployment; g) equipment deployment; h) network testing;
  i) network complete and operational. The applicant may provide any other milestones that it believes showcase progress.

• Project inception (Year 0) starts at the date when the applicant receives notice that the project has been approved for funding.

• In the table, provide any information (e.g., facts, analysis) to: a) demonstrate the reasonableness of these milestones; b) substantiate the ability to reach the milestones by the quarters indicated.

• On a separate sheet, describe the key challenges, if any, to a timely completion of the project, including any applicable mitigation plans.

ATTACHMENT E (continued) – Build-out timeline

Complete the following schedule for each proposed funded service area (or, if a middle mile project, for each last mile service area) to indicate the planned build-out in terms of: 1) the requested infrastructure funds; and 2) the entities passed. Entities passed include households, businesses, and "strategic institutions" comprised of critical community facilities, community anchor institutions, and public safety entities. In addition, please complete a separate schedule that aggregates all projected broadband subscribers within the proposed funded service area (or if a middle mile project, for each last mile service area). For BIP only, please include this information for the non-funded service areas as well.
