- Title
- NOFA008 Project Award Recipients Areas view [Iowa]
- Description
- Project areas of applicant projects receiving grant funding for Notification of Funding Availability (NOFA) #008 in Iowa. This view depicts project areas within Iowa, generated from locations submitted by eligible applicants between 7/14/2023 - 8/25/2023 as part of the applicant's core application. Applications were evaluated and ranked during the review process between 8/25/2023 - 10/30/2023. Some projects retained their original selected project locations, while others were amended based on overlaps with other submitted projects and their ranks relative to each other, with higher ranked overlapping projects retaining their originally selected locations and lower ranked overlapping projects losing some or all of their locations. (Note: Project areas are not intended to be used for planning or decision-making purposes, as these were generated exclusively to serve as a means of aggregating project statistical information, i.e. number of locations, project award, etc. for depiction within the dashboard.) Per NOFA #008 Exhibit 'A', section 1.7.6. Final Agency Decision(s)/Notice of Intent to Award: The Office will review all Applications received in accordance with the terms, conditions, and requirements of Applicable Law and this NOFA, and make a final agency decision regarding whether to which Applications, and in what amount(s) to award grant funds. In making final Award decision(s), the Office may consider a variety of information or materials. In formulating its final recommendation(s), the Office is not bound by the results of the scoring process set forth in this NOFA. The Office will notify each Applicant of ward decisions by issuing a Notice of Intent to Award ("NOIA"). Such NOIA shall be distributed by email to the Applicant's Authorized Official. The Office will also post the NOIA online at https://ocio.iowa.gov/broadband . Unsuccessful Applicants are solely responsible for reviewing this website to determine their Award status. Per NOFA #008 Exhibit 'A', section 3. Scoring Methodology: Scoring and ranking Applications submitted in response to this NOFA will occur through quantitative factors, more fully outlined below. A maximum of 100 points is available. Specific point values assigned to each evaluation factor set forth in section 3.1 (Quantitative Factors), are posted in section 3.2 (Scoring Rubric). The Office recognizes that some of the factors identified below compete with each other. This is by design. Completed Projects will be expected to meet or exceed any statements or representations made in connection with questions or inputs associated with scored factors outlined below, and any related answers or inputs shall be deemed contractual obligations of Applicant and incorporated by reference into a resulting Grant Agreement as if fully set forth therein. Rank Ordering Procedure . Following the scoring process using the factors set forth in section 3.1, all Applicants will be subject to the Rank Ordering Procedure: ● First, as part of the Technical Review described in section 1.7.5.1 the Office will group Applications accordingly: Group A will consist of Applications that will Facilitate Covered Speeds to at least 80% of the Eligible Service Locations in at least one Broadband Intervention Zone ("Group A"), and Group B will consist of all others ("Group B"); ● Second, Applications will be ranked within Group A and Group B by cumulative points; and ● Third, the highest scoring Application within Group B will be assigned a rank order that immediately follows the lowest ranked Application within Group A. The remaining Applications in Group B will be assigned successive ranks consistent with their cumulative score for the factors set forth in section 3.1.
