  1. Letter should be dated on or after the applicant’s Allowable Vendor Selection/Contract Date, based on the applicant’s Form 470 filing. The date should also be on or before the applicant’s Form 471 filing date.
  2. For non-recurring services, it is suggested that the terminating date be specified as 09/30/200_.
  3. E-rate rules no longer require that contracts be counter-signed by the service provider. However, to provide an added level of formality to simplified contracts of this form, E-Rate Central recommends that it be signed and dated by both parties. If the two signature dates are different, the effective date of the contract will be deemed to be the later of these two dates.
