a. RFP 25-607 Computer Device Repair and Insurance Services ~ Stratix Corporation (Not to exceed $3,234,403)

Summary: Presented by: Dr. Kermit Belcher, Chief Information Officer, Division of Information & Instructional Technology
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the contract for RFP 25-607 Computer Device Repair and Insurance Services to Stratix Corporation for an amount not to exceed $3,234,403.
Why: The purpose of this agenda item is to approve the contract for RFP 25-607 Computer Device Repair and Insurance Services to Stratix Corporation. Access to technology is essential for both instructional integration and daily operations within a school district. The Division of Information and Instructional Technology (DIIT) has recognized the importance of maintaining up-to-date technology and has proposed a comprehensive plan for the replacement and maintenance of instructional devices, including Chromebooks and staff devices.
Details: Instructional devices are a critical tool for students, enabling them to access educational resources, complete assignments, and participate in virtual classrooms. By purchasing device repair and insurance, the district can ensure that students have continuous access to these essential tools, minimizing disruptions to their learning experience.

Investing in insurance for devices is a cost-effective solution that can save the district significant amounts of money in the long run. Insurance covers accidental damage, loss, and theft, which are common occurrences in a school environment. Without insurance, the cost of repairing or replacing damaged devices would fall on the district, leading to increased expenses.

Providing insurance for devices ensures that all students, regardless of their socio-economic background, have equal access to functional devices. This is particularly important in a one-to-one device program where each student is issued a device. Insurance helps to bridge the digital divide by ensuring that all students have the tools they need to succeed.

With an insurance plan in place, the repair process for damaged devices becomes more efficient. This will minimize downtime by reducing the time it takes to get devices back into the hands of students.

The district has made significant investments in technology to enhance the educational experience. By purchasing insurance, the district can protect these investments and ensure that devices remain in good working condition throughout their lifecycle. This aligns with the district's commitment to providing high-quality educational resources to students and staff.

After a thorough review of all responses, the awarded vendor is Stratix Corporation. The decision was based on the Firm’s overview / company profile, scope of services, relevant experience and expertise, professional references, and cost of services.
