List the unserved community anchor institutions (schools, libraries, government offices, hospitals, first responders) that will receive Broadband service resulting from your proposed project? 0 e. What is the total estimated population that will receive Broadband service resulting from this project? 48 Project Requirements: 1. Describe in detail how your project meets each of the following requirements and the supporting evidence provided as part of this application. Attach supporting documentation and evidence as appropriate to this application and cite that information in your answers. a. The area lies outside of municipal boundaries or is a city with a population of fewer than 7,500 inhabitants; and consists of households that lack access to at least one provider of a broadband network that uses satellite technology and at least one provider of a broadband network that uses non -satellite technology. i. Area is unincorporated Weld county. Residents of Puritan do not lack access to satellite or wireless internet providers but these options are either 1) not at broadband speeds, 25/3Mbps, 2) not affordable so adoption is low or at minimum pricing and speed tiers, and/or 3) monthly data caps are imposed and not conducive to a home broadband experience. Puritan residents lack digital inclusion and CVI gigabit fiber optic internet services can close this digital divide. A cable provider has one resident connected through an alternate connection approach and therefore considers all residents of Puritan served with HFC services in its Form 477 filing. This prevented Puritan from being identified for the RDOF funding program though all but one location lack access to 25/3 fixed broadband services. b. The project for which funding is requested must be a new project, and not a project in progress already. A "project in progress" means one in which construction of infrastructure has started. Phased projects may be considered a new project if the phase for which funding is being requested would not otherwise be completed without funding from the Broadband Fund. i. New project, nothing in progress. c. Grant funds shall be used for infrastructure deployment only, and not for on -going operating costs. i. Funds used for infrastructure deployment only for Puritan residents to receive service. d. The project provides access to a broadband network (at least 25/3 Mbps service to all households). i. CVI will provide symmetric gigabit internet services to all residents of Puritan. e. The project shall provide last mile service, which is defined as the portion of broadband service that delivers an internet connection to an end user. Proposed projects may include middle mile or other infrastructure necessary to expand broadband networks into unserved areas. i. Infrastructure is for last mile services. f. The applicant shall provide independent matching funds of at least 25% of the total cost of the proposed project. The Board may only consider in -kind matches for the purposes of infrastructure deployment. In -kind matching contributions shall not include consulting, planning or operational fees or costs. The applicant shall provide an 3 appraisal of all in -kind matching contributions, sufficient to enable the Board to determine the fair market value of the in -kind matching funds. i. CVI to provide $12,904.64 in matching funds towards this project equaling 25% of the total direct capex needed to complete the infrastructure deployment. g. The project does not overbuild areas receiving federal sources of high cost support or federal broadband grants for construction of a broadband network that will be completed within 24 months after the date that the applicant filed the application. i. This Puritan areas has no subsidized, high -cost funding allocated to broadband deployment. h. The applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Board that the proposed network meets industry reliability standards. i. CVI has maintained better than business -class level SLA availability for its residential service over the past reporting period i. The applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Board an ability to deliver on the proposed project within established timelines and within budget. i. CVI has deployed FTTH in the immediate area within these timeframes and budget. J. The applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Board the ability to operate the network as proposed for a minimum of 5 years following project completion. i. CVI broadband services will be available for a minimum of 5 years, the minimum contract period of existing Tier 1 upstream contracts k. The project shall be completed within two years from the date in which the grant award contract is executed. i. Project to be completed by end of 2Q21 providing a 1Q21 grant funding completion. L. The applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board an ability to provide broadband service at a reasonable cost per household and at reasonable service costs to end users in the area to be served. i. List every standard service package tiers to be offered. The list must include, at a minimum, the following for each service package tier: a. Only one service tier - gigabit package: Non -rate limited up to 1Gbps down and 1Gbps up with 3-6ms latency, no monthly data caps, $99 install and no other upfront costs, $49.95/mo if ordered within 90 days of install otherwise $54.95-59.95/mo depending on offer, no monthly model rental fees, no additional fees. 2. Bitrate (download and upload) 3. Usage limits (if any), 4. Total upfront cost 5. Itemized list of all upfront costs (e.g., onetime - fees, installation costs, fiber drop to the premise, customer premise equipment costs, etc.) 6. Total monthly cost 7. Itemized list of all monthly costs (e.g., recurring - service cost, fees, customer premise equipment leases or installments, etc.) m. The applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Board that the project is not in an area with a population density large enough to require service under an existing franchise agreement. 4 i. No franchise agreement exists for the Puritan subdivision. n. The applicant shall agree to all award contract terms required by the Board and State of Colorado including but not limited to reporting and accountability requirements. i. CVI agrees to all award contract terms required by the Board and State of Colorado. 2. Provide a list of all parties that were given a copy of this application, including all attachments, and the date which it was provided to them. (You are required to submit this application including all attachments and exhibits to the Board of County Commissioners, City Council, or other local entity with authority over the area to be served; and the incumbent provider(s).) a. Provided to Weld County Commissioners, December 2020 Demonstration of Need: 1. Why is this project needed at this time? Please include an explanation of why you believe state funds are needed more in your project area than in other unserved areas of the state. a. Work -from -home and schooling -from -home during COVID drives more home broadband use, exceeding the capabilities of existing services. The Puritan subdivision has been unserved and underserved by internet providers for the past few decades. There is no business case to expand services to the addresses in this subdivision. State funds would change the economics and catch this area up with the surrounding community. 2. How does the proposed project address the needs of the community that will receive service? a. Allows the residents of the Puritan subdivision community to receive the same benefits from the 4th industrial revolution that their neighbors 100 meters north in Wyndham Hill receive by building future -proofed gigabit -cable broadband service offered at better than urban -equivalent rates to insure high adoption and high digital inclusion. 3. If you have considered implementation options other than what is proposed in this application, describe all other options and why they were not chosen. a. Fixed wireless access via CBRS GAA spectrum: Not chosen because of SAS exclusion zone in immediate area. b. Fixed deployment via aerial fiber: Not chosen because of existing pole loading and risk of outages from downed lines. 4. Is completion of the project dependent on the award of the entire requested amount of grant funds? If not, what is the minimum amount of grant funds you require to complete the project? a. Yes. Due to existing infrastructure in the area the planned $2,717/HHP cost is about half of the high -cost reserve cost for nearby RDOF funding locations ($5,156 for CBG #081230020101). 5. If you are not awarded funds for this project, do you have plans to complete it using other funding sources? If yes, please describe your plan and the source of the funds. a. No. These addresses are mismarked in the FCC 477 database as being served and therefore doesn't show up as unserved for other state or federal programs. b.

FCC form 477 broadband map reporting of service area broadband speed. Only "Location A" has broadband speeds as defined by the FCC for fixed connections. The Puritan area is considered served with 25/3Mbps because of this location and the three adjacent homes in the Wyndham Hill residential area along Lump Gulch Way which are located in the Puritan census blocks. No other homes have broadband speeds for a fixed provider. The satellite and wireless options are cost prohibitive or service -limited. 1.
