b. Purchase of Managed Print Services (not to exceed $1,723,237)

Summary: Presented by: Ms. Monika Davis, Chief Information Officer, Division of Information and Instructional Technology
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education award the purchase of Managed Print Services to Lexmark International in an amount not to exceed $1,723,237.
Why: The purpose of this Managed Print Services agreement is to provide a highly qualified, experienced, capable, and responsible provider to provide copier service and to implement a district wide Managed Print Services (MPS) solution.
Details: In April 2016, the Board of Education approved the bid award to provide 484 copier and print devices for all staff and students across the district. Due to the addition of new schools and the addition of 271 copier / print devices, DCSD negotiated with Lexmark for a Managed Print Services arrangement under The Omnia Partners Managed Print Solutions Contract. This will ensure that the additional print devices are covered with the same high-quality level of service that DCSD has been accustomed to.

This purchase includes:



Monthly analytical usage data (proactively reduce paper consumption)
Defined SLAs



Automated shipping of toner
Proactive Device Notification
Dedicated Break/Fix Personnel
Print Release
Standardizing equipment


Currently, there are 755 managed Lexmark devices throughout the DeKalb County School District.
