  I. ERATE Agreement 21-22 Vote 3 m
   
Per Tony Daggett:  This is for our upcoming erate project. It is a total replacement of all our switches in the building, with a couple extras.  The two quotes are for basically the same equipment. The DAT quote is $6600 more than the SHI quote.  This particular project is just equipment only, meaning they just ship me the switches and I config/install.  As with the other erate category 2 projects, the board would be responsible for 15% of the total project cost. So in this case, $5760 for the DAT quote and $4721 for the SHI quote.
