## Networx - Understanding Pricing, Section B of Draft RFP

**Pricing Structure**
**General**
**Transport**
**Access**
**Management and Application, Security, and Special Services**
**Equipment**
**Pricing Requirements**
**Universal**
**Enterprise**
**Price Model, Pricing Tables, and CLINS**

## General Pricing Approach

**Fixed prices will be required**
**Commercial pricing structures have been adopted to the greatest extent possible**
**Where appropriate, price structures vary by**
**Location**
**Bandwidth or capacity**
**Performance level (Routine vs. Critical)**
**In general, Networx allowed charges will be one-time (non-recurring), fixed monthly recurring, or usage-based**

## CLIN Structure includes:
Transport (POP to POP)
Access (SDP-POP)
Features
Customer Premises Equipment
Service specific pricing for Management and Application, Security, and Special Services
Other service support items such as reservation fees, training, moves and changes

**Transport (POP to POP)**
**Access (SDP-POP)**
