Summary:
This procurement is in support of a new wireless network infrastructure for Northgate High School. Northgate High School was part of a pilot that evaluated multiple wireless manufacturers, including HP, Cisco and Aruba. Aruba was ultimately selected as the preferred manufacturer and a request for quotes was sent to six qualified vendors, with MDUSD receiving three formal quotes. The lowest responsible quote was received from Dasher Technologies, who provided the attached pricing. Pricing covers initial deployment, as well as subsequent pricing should MDUSD choose to move forward with a similar wireless deployment for other schools. Pricing is based on the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract as the vendor’s piggy-back contract. Contract # 7-14-70-03. Currently deployed wireless access points will be redistributed to other school sites.

Staff recommend awarding the contract with Dasher Technologies for Aruba Wireless Project, through the 2010 Measure C Facility Improvement Program.
