REQUEST
APPROVAL OF SUPPLEMENTAL AWARD ON TERM CONTRACT
RECOMMENDED: That The School Board of Miami-Dade County,
Florida, APPROVE the supplemental award on the following term contract,
inasmuch as the estimated requirements, previously awarded by the Board, will
be exceeded before the contract term expires.
(1)
Contract
No. 021-FF04 – NETWORK CONNECTIVITY DEVICES, is to purchase, at firm unit
prices, quantities, as may be required, of network connectivity devices,
including bridges, routers, repeaters, switches, gateways, multiplexers, hubs,
concentrators, network adapter cards, etc., for all current network topologies
and bus architectures, for Information Technology Services (ITS), during the
term of the contract, effective July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2008. The pre-qualified vendors are solicited for
quotations on each job exceeding the quotation threshold, insuring best pricing
for the District.
The
initial award and previous supplemental amount have been exhausted. The funding
for these devices was not included in the original estimated award amount,
inasmuch as E-Rate funding for Years 9 and 10 had not been received.
On
an annual basis, the District applies for E-Rate funding; however, the approval
may take as long as three years. The E-Rate funding approval for Years 9 and
10, amounting to $5.5million, was recently received and is included
in this supplemental request. In addition, connectivity upgrades totaling $5.6
million, to be funded by the 07-08 Capital budget are required. This supplement will support expenditures
required to provide a more robust infrastructure, enabling schools to
communicate with ITS through WAN, LAN, and the Internet. New student and staff portals, as well as
enhanced on-line instruction, require a technological backbone, which allows
these programs to run. The supplemental
amount reflects these amounts, plus 10 percent for unanticipated
expenditures.
