Note: You must file both a Form 470 and 471 for State Telecommunications System (STS) costs for 2009.
The Department of Administration (DOA) STS contract is for long distance services. If you have any questions on STS services or costs, contact Dick Strand, the DOA’s STS Network Manager (608-267-8987,
dick.strand@wisconsin.gov). The STS contract is considered a State Master Contract under SLD program rules. However, because DOA did not file a 470 for the STS contract, schools and libraries will need to file their own Form 470. Once your 470 is filed, you need to wait the required 28 days to then file your 471. More information is available at:
If you receive responses from your 470, you will need to select a provider using cost as the single most heavily weighted factor in your decision. This does not mean that cost must be weighted greater than 50%, or that it must be more than the total of any other factors. The SLD has some information on factors besides cost to consider when determining your telecommunications provider.
Complete all sections of the 470 and 471 as you normally do. Specific information for completing Block 5 of the 471 is provided below. Some information is pre-populated if you file online.
