As discussed in the Digital Equity Plan, over 153,000 Kansans lack subscriptions to high-speed internet due to inadequate infrastructure, affordability, or inability to access to devices, digital skills knowledge, and support. This is particularly applicable within covered populations. This program is the first of several initiatives to address key areas of Kansans\u2019 needs identified within the Digital Equity Plan. As such, KOBD is launching the Capital Projects Fund (CPF) Advancing Digital Opportunities to Promote Technology (ADOPT) program which is an effort to improve access to affordable equipment and reliable Wi-Fi to unserved and underserved public spaces. The ADOPT program is comprised of two sub-programs: 1) Equipment Distribution Program and 2) Public Wi-Fi Enablement Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Advancing Digital Opportunities to Promote Technology (ADOPT) program information is captured in two separate sections as documented below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Equipment Distribution Program<\/strong> awards grant dollars to eligible entities to make devices available to individuals who do not subscribe to broadband connectivity due to lack of devices and equipment. The program makes available, to qualifying individuals, computers, laptops, and tablets through no-cost, short or long-term loan programs administered by eligible entities.&nbsp; Subrecipients will be required to prioritize individuals with no device over those receiving devices through other programs (schools, etc.). The primary objective of this program is to award funding to eligible entities to distribute no-cost devices and equipment to critical need individuals who lack devices and equipment.&nbsp; Eligible entities (i.e. \u2013 sub-recipients) will retain ownership of the devices throughout the term of the loan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-b053c7e2-d3d8-4b81-a0d4-e4345497d566\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Max Individual Award: $500,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required Applicant Match: None<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Public Wi-Fi Enablement Program<\/strong> will provide access to high-quality, reliable public Wi-Fi based broadband in Kansas.&nbsp; Public Wi-Fi applications will be accepted with priority given to applications that address unserved and economically distressed areas which have a compelling need for free and reliable broadband services that bridge critical access gaps to support quality of life considerations.&nbsp; Applicants are expected to engage community leaders and stakeholders in the development of projects that will benefit Kansas citizens and communities.&nbsp; Grantees will be required to provide free public Wi-Fi services within the proposed service area that directly enable work, education, and health monitoring for at least five years from the completion of the Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Max Individual Award: $1 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required Applicant Match: 10%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ADOPT-Final-Guideline_12.1.23_v1.pdf\">Program Guidelines<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kansasdeptofcommercebroadband.submittable.com\/submit\/280119\/adopt-program-equipment-distribution-program-application\">Application Portal &#8211;

This process is integral to KOBD&#8217;s efforts to optimize investment, uphold fiscal responsibility, and ensure transparency in Kansas. The public comment period was open February 26, 2024, at 5:00 PM CT until March 11, 2024, at 5 p.m. CT. All ADOPT Public Project Proposals and associated Public Proposed Service Area Maps (contained within zip files with .KMZ map(s)) are available for public review and commentary during this period. This transparent public comment mechanism facilitates feedback from the public, internet service providers, and stakeholders interested in digital opportunity projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that all comments collected during the public comment period will be posted as part of public disclosure, except for information containing specific infrastructure assets deemed &#8220;proprietary.&#8221;

Is that a correct assumption? &nbsp;Because it mentions that you can still apply through this program for dollars to improve access to affordable equipment. &nbsp;I would take this to mean it could be paired with Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) efforts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer: The ADOPT program funding is the DCT dollars.&nbsp; Our focus of this program is to assist with device distribution and public Wi-Fi.&nbsp; It is not a focus to pair the ADOPT program funding with ACP efforts, however, device distribution generally lends to those who would be eligible for ACP. &nbsp;The ADOPT program and ACP program are not dependent on each other but can bolster each other.&nbsp; The digital skills building (training) is a focus of our soon to be launched DOCK (Digital Opportunity to Connect Kansans) program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question:&nbsp; We are working with several cities that want public Wi-Fi in their parks or downtown areas. &nbsp;Some of these areas are not necessarily on the economically distressed list or considered \u201cunserved\u201d, but it could be considered public Wi-Fi to help close the digital divide for lower income individuals in the community who need Wi-Fi. &nbsp;Would that be an option to apply for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer:&nbsp; Based off the language of the program guidelines and in line with the intention of the program, we are not supporting public Wi-Fi projects outside of areas that are unserved or in a distressed county.&nbsp; To allow an exception like this could open an undesired opportunity for those projects that are outside of the areas that truly need assistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please refer to the language from the Advancing Digital Opportunities to Promote Technology (ADOPT) program guidelines listed below regarding location eligibility and economically distressed counties found on the Kansas Office of Broadband Development (KOBD) website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Eligible Locations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of the grant is to facilitate affordable broadband access to unserved public areas with demonstrated need. &nbsp;Unserved is defined as designated locations or geographic areas that are without a fixed, terrestrial connection supporting at least 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speeds. &nbsp;Geographic areas that are unserved as defined by the Federal Communications Commission Broadband Data Collection tool are qualified to be served by the public Wi-Fi solution (page 18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Economically Distressed Counties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a list of counties in Kansas designated as economically distressed on page 34 of the program guidelines and below under &#8220;key definitions.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question: Are you able to expound on the geo-tracking capability expectations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer: Grantees are expected to tag all devices with property tags or install asset management software on the device. &nbsp;Each tag should contain a unique identifier to track the device in the inventory.&nbsp; See pages 6 and 7 of the Program Guidelines for additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question: Are applicants able to outsource technical assistance services?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer: Applicants are able to outsource technical assistance services through partnership arrangements.&nbsp; Applicants must describe the partner\u2019s role in the project and fully explain the partnership or collaborations with other organizations or stakeholders to fulfill the technical assistance services.&nbsp; Partners will also be expected to attend the final grant candidates interview session.&nbsp; For additional details, see pages 12 through 14 of the Program Guidelines regarding partnerships, Letters of Community Support, Documentation Requirements and Application Evaluation Criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question: What are the expectations of establishing a device loan program?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer:&nbsp;The expectations of this program are to award funding to eligible entities to distribute no-cost devices and equipment to critical need individuals who lack devices and equipment.&nbsp; Subgrantees will be expected to procure, distribute, manage, maintain and technically support internet-connected devices targeted to Kansans in need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The program guidelines can be found in &#8220;Executive Summary&#8221;
