Summary:
The 2010 Measure C Facilities Improvement Plan identifies the installation of a Fiber Optic (capable of up to 1 Gbps) cable connecting all sites to AT&T service as a critical and prerequisite infrastructure enhancement necessary to allow sites to take full advantage of high speed internet and to support both existing as well as emerging classroom technologies. While the optical cable installation itself has been fully designed and will soon be complete it is necessary to procure and install the switching hardware at project sites to connect to the service (Opt-E-Man) which will support the optimal use of this new infrastructure. Staff is now requesting permission to purchase and install this necessary switching hardware through Decotech Systems through a State of California Multiple Award Schedule ("CMAS") contract (CMAS #3-10-70-1602M). The fully inclusive cost of this procurement would be $122,741.78.
