The Texas Broadband Development Office (BDO) is seeking assistance from broadband service providers with designing predefined project areas for the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program.
According to a request for information (RFI) released by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, BDO is seeking responses from “cooperatives, nonprofit organizations, public-private partnerships, private companies, public or private utilities, public utility districts, local governments, tribal organizations and for-profit organizations.”
The collected information will help BDO determine the most efficient method of subdividing 990 Census tracts for the BEAD program in its pursuit of universal service across the state.
Respondents must provide their viewpoint on subdivision along census-designated boundaries and unique geographic features.
More detailed information about RFI No. 909-25-1442AM, including all submission requirements and requests, can be found online. Questions regarding the solicitation are due via email at 2 p.m. Feb. 25. The closing date is 2 p.m. March 20. Alyssa Mangold is the point of contact for this RFI.
BDO previously requested information on project area definitions in August last year.
