We need enough users for a sustainable service
Too few users, and the individual cost is too high
After a certain break-even point, additional user revenues have less mathematical significance

RFP KEY HIGHLIGHTS
10
Overall Key Points
• The most important metric is subscriber adoption– The vendor is penalized for not reaching adoption targets– Many metrics and evaluation factors are tied to adoption– This is a clever strategy: good service will get a lot of subscribers
• The vendor assumes nearly all aspects of the service– The vendor handles implementation, operations, etc.– The vendor also handles sales and marketing– The vendor has the right to market itself as “FirstNet”, including the right to
use FirstNet’s trademarks
11
IOC-3
• IOC-3, or “Initial Operating Capability Phase 3”• 24 months from award is a key date• Vendor is required to:– Have over 50% of the proposed user base– Have over 60% of the proposed Band 14 spectrum– Provide mission-critical services including PTT– Provide public safety priority services
12
Summary
• FirstNet’s RFP is a massive, detailed and creative approach to providing NPSBN service to the nation
• The vendor assumes most aspects of the NPSBN including managing the service and all sales and marketing
• The coverage objective for Minnesota is 97%• The RFP is almost entirely objectives-based• Qualified vendors will likely have to be or be affiliated with a major carrier• State plans and basic “FirstNet” service available after 6 months• After year 2, the service is fairly mature and provides most of what it will provide.
Later phases are mostly filling in coverage.• 15% of coverage shall “include partnerships with rural telecommunications providers”
13
Section M – Evaluation Factors
• Objectives-based procurement– Few requirements, many objectives
• Evaluation Factors:– Business Management– Coverage and Capacity– Products and Architecture– Offeror’s Value Proposition Assessment– Past Performance
14
Coverage
• FN coverage objective is FN baseline+state-submitted data
• Provides coverage for about 97% of the state
• This is an objective, not a requirement• Offerors will be evaluated state-by-state
based on how much of the FN coverage objective they meet
Category % of StateFirstNet Baseline 67.38%State Datasets 23.96%Commercial/LMR Coverage 4.89%Federal Input 0.67%Temporary/Deployable 3.11%

Coverage
16
Disincentive Payments
• The vendor is penalized if it does not achieve its target adoption rates– Vendor pays full payment at less than 70% of target adoption rates
• These payments increase over time, but average $2-$3M per year for Minnesota– Starting from year 6 (FOC) to year 25 (end of term)
• This is the main penalty engineered into the RFP to manage the vendor over the life of the service
17
FirstNet’s Example Rollout• Phase 1-2

• Phase 3-4• Extend Suburban & Rural
