10.h. Approve Copier Lease Agreement
Description:
The District received proposals from GFI (current provider) and Watts Copy Systems to replace (9) copiers throughout the district.  Although GFI's lease payments was lower than Watts, the cost per copy from Watts was lower than GFI, making their over contract value the lowest. 

The administration requested two (2) options.  Option #1 was to replace (9) black & white (B&W) copiers with similar B&W copiers.  Option #2 was to replace (5) B&W copiers with similar B&W copiers but to replace (4) B&W copiers in the offices with (4) color copiers.  

It is the recommendation of the administration to accept Option #2 of the proposal as submitted by Watts Copy Systems.

10.i. Approve SpyGlass Invoice-Telephone/Media Audit Services
Description:
The SpyGlass Group is a company that performs audits on companies' technology and communication expenses and provides recommendations or negotiates contract changes to help lower or eliminate redundant or unnecessary charges.  There were two areas where SpyGlass was able to negotiate lower monthly charges for internet services through Mediacom and Frontier, saving the district $29,940 per year. 

SpyGlass does not charge for the service. However, they do collect a fee based on the savings for cost reduction, which is equal to 1 year of savings for the District.  The new agreement with Medicom was for 36 months and the new agreement with Frontier was for 60 months.  The total realized savings for the District will be $839,520.
