E-Rate Proposals
RFP went out in January for the networking needs for the Early Childhood Center. We received 4 bid before the deadline.
- Net Diverse Basic
- Net Diverse Recommended
- Electronaca
- Cytranet
Stephanie Wright discussed the bids submitted. Particularly the Net Diverse plans which received the highest ratings. The recommended package provides upgrades for switches and access points.
Stefanie asked about the price differences, and if we have current issues. Stephanie said we are fine now, we have minor issues. Net Diverse has a plan for spreading out the new equipment between the buildings should we go with the basic.
$11,600 for the basic and $16,500 for the recommended. Stephanie recommends the newer appliances to increase longevity.
Bill asked if this is funded by the new construction. It is not. It may be included in the contingency.
No public members attended.
