EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
IKON offered a 10% rebate toward the current contract purchase price for all copiers leased. This offer equated to $117,800 on 100 copiers. A six-year lease versus purchases analysis demonstrated significant savings utilizing a five-year lease and an extended reduced lease rate offered by IKON in year six. Maintenance costs were included in the analysis. The combined lease and maintenance costs are lower than a Florida school district several times our size and the statewide contract. Additionally, there will be a minimum savings of $15,000 annually in energy as the replacement copiers are ENERGY STAR labeled.
These copiers are equipped with scanning and networking options. The district will be forming a committee to address “right sizing” our copier fleet and networking. Networking provides users the ability to control copying from their desktop, while directing copies to cost effective, large capacity machines.
