Director Chris Whitlock will present two technology purchases for approval:

The first is a request to purchase 500 Chromebooks within the district’s four-year rotation to replace student devices at Brevard High School. The purchase will be made through a federal TIPS contract; therefore, an RFP is not required. Board approval is required for purchases in excess of $90,000. The quote from Trafera is attached. Mr. Whitlock will answer any questions you may have.

A motion is in order to approve the purchase of 500 Chromebooks from Trafera in the amount of $196,953.75, pending review and approval by the board attorney.

The second is a request to purchase new wireless access points for the schools. We have been awarded eRate funds for this purchase of $233,425.74. The FCC will provide 80% of the funding and state funds will match the other 20%. This purchase is being made off of a state RFP. The quote from Applied Network Consulting (ANC) Group, Inc., is attached.

A motion is in order to approve the purchase of Aruba wireless 3-year network equipment and installation in the amount of $233,425.74, pending review and approval by the board attorney.
