Scope of Work and Budget
Department of Commerce, Washington State Broadband Office
Washington State University Extension
Broadband Action Team Implementation and Support Proposal
Washington State University Extension (Extension) has a County Extension presence in every county in
Washington, along with a Colville Tribal Extension office and other offices and operations. Extension has
experience with the formation and support of Broadband Action Teams (BATS) at the local level, has
participated in efforts to increase BAT capacity at a national level, and has previously entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding with the Washington State Broadband Office (WSBO) to support BAT
work in Washington. WSBO and Extension are desirous of expanding BAT activity across Washington,
and to expanding equitable access, adoption and application of broadband technology. To provide
capacity in collaboration with WSBO to support the implementation and advancement of Broadband
Action Teams (BATs) and the capacity for digital equity at the local level across the State of Washington,
Extension proposes the following areas of work: Broadband Action Team Support, and County and Tribal
Nation DRAFT Digital Equity Plan Development.
Broadband Action Team Support
Assessment and Incentives:
Some counties and federally recognized tribes already have mature BAT activity, some have nascent
programs, and some are in need of help initiating a BAT project. It is important to assess the level of
activity and need/demand for county -level and tribal -level support from both local Extension offices and
WSBO. Tied directly to this variability is a need to incentivize BAT formation, operation, and "success."
The effort to achieve these goals can be supported by Extension, if incentive structures can be provided
by WSBO. WSU proposes that "success" for a BAT in terms of this project be defined as:
Formation of an organized working group which inclusively represents the variety and breadth of
interests regarding:
■ equitable broadband access, adoption, and application in each county and tribe
completion of the 15 week "Missouri" BAT curriculum being finalized by the National Digital
Education Extension Team (NDEET), and
submission of a plan for enhanced broadband access and adoption in that county or tribe.
Achievement of these milestones may entitle a BAT, in association with WSU, access to continued
support, the ability to compete for limited grant funds, or other incentives as determined by WSBO.
Organizational Structure:
Extension will develop a cadre of Extension Broadband practitioners to support BAT formation and
activity at the county, regional, tribal, and statewide levels. This cadre will be overseen by Extension
leadership, and will be directly led by a State Broadband Coordinator. This State Broadband Coordinator
will be supported by an Associate Coordinator who will provide subject -matter expertise. Eight Regional
Coordinators will provide direct support to Extension County offices within their defined regions, will be
qualified to provide the NDEET training, and will directly conduct BAT support activities within their
DocuSign Envelope ID: AEK006C-30A54332-AF1E-D6ACDCECFAF7
Attachment A
respective regions as necessary and appropriate per the willing partnership and invitation of the county
or tribe. County Extension offices will provide logistics and administrative support. This project will
include a specific evaluation component designed both to inform program development and adaptation
for improvement, and to provide a culminating evaluative report of the project which can inform future
BAT and digital equity work in Washington and elsewhere.
Deliverables narrative:
The heart of this work is local digital equity planning. SATs are a proven model for developing necessary
momentum for communities to advance digital equity work and to close the digital divide. To this end,
deliverables for this project include the support of existing BAT efforts, and the initial offer of the
formation of a BAT in each county and federally recognized tribe which does not currently have an
active BAT', the development of a regional BAT support structure, delivery of the NDEET curriculum and
support for the development and submission of a county or tribal BAT plan for each county or tribe. All
county and tribal BATs will be supported by this project over the term of the project with a combination
of local, regional and state -level Extension resources. The project goal is to develop sufficient local
support structure to establish a sustainable, productive BAT in each county and tribe, as evidenced by
the "success" factors defined above. Each BAT should, to the maximum extent practicable, have
representation from public and private organizations, communities representing people of color, social
services delivery organizations, schools, health care providers, representation from Tribal Nations,
representatives from the hearing impaired and disability communities as well as representatives from
the elderly community and representatives from migrant and refugee communities.
WSU Extension will conduct, in consultation with WSBO, a questionnaire of each of the 39 counties and
29 Federally recognized tribal nations to gauge their interest in participating in this BAT program, in
developing draft digital equity plans, and their interest in utilizing the WSBO resources that provide
economic assessment of proposed projects as well as grant -writing assistance provided by third party
vendors.
As a means to add further value to BAT program participants and other interested attendees, Extension,
in partnership with WSBO and the Office of Equity, will work to convene and facilitate up to two digital
equity webinars that are optional for all BATS and other attendees. Webinars will share updates about
current and future digital equity planning efforts at the state level, sharing best and promising practices
and resources, case studies of broadband projects planned, underway and completed, and training as
available. These webinars will be required for recipients of the competitive funding grants to support
digital equity planning. Funding recipients will be required to actively engage in these webinars. See next
area of work for details on funding recipients.
' For those counties and tribes where after good faith attempts a BAT cannot be formed, a regional BAT comprised
of multiple counties, or subdivisions of particular counties, may be used.
