This bid was prepared at the request of Information Technology to establish fixed pricing for interactive flat panels districtwide. Three of the vendors offered a self-maintainer option, which was determined to be the most cost effective solution and in the best interest of the district. Without the self-maintainer option, panels would have to be sent to the vendor for repairs. Allowing our Technology Department the option to repair the panels would save critical classroom down time and avoid the costs involved in outside repairs.  Also considered was the extended warranty, which was offered at no additional cost. Of the three vendors who offered these options, Kynetic Technologies LLC included a definite commitment for certified onsite service and was the overall lowest responsive, responsible bidder. This recommendation has been reviewed by the Manager of Information Technology.

The initial term of this contract will be from December 7, 2016, through December 6, 2017, with 1-year renewals for 4 years. There is a 30-day termination for convenience clause included in this contract. All prices offered are firm against any increase for at least one year from the effective date. This contract will be reviewed annually and may be renewed by the Superintendent.
