7)b. E-Rate Network Cabling and Band Hall IDF Project
|
|
|
Description:
Action: Consider approval of Howard Technology Solutions for the district's E-Rate Network Cabling and Band Hall IDF Project in the amount of $133,015.
Recommendation: Administration recommends approval of Howard Technology Solutions based on the district's published bid evaluation criteria, including price, experience, quality, ability to meet district's needs, and total cost of ownership. Howard's proposal provides a comprehensive solution, maintains the district's existing HPE Aruba network standard, and offers the best overall value for the district. Information: The project will address remaining network connectivity issues through replacement and correction of outdated or improperly installed cabling. It also includes installation of a new IDF in the Band Hall, connected to the district network by fiber, to provide appropriate connectivity for the Band Hall and surrounding areas. The new infrastructure will also support future network needs associated with the planned auditorium project. E-Rate funding will reduce the district's actual cost based on the district's applicable E-Rate discount rate. Big Sandy ISD received nine bids for the project. While some vendors submitted lower-priced proposals, several addressed only portions of the requested scope. Howard Technology Solutions was determined to provide the best overall value and most complete solution. |
