Summary
The Benicia Unified board approved a $455,414.89 contract with Packet Fusion to replace clocks, bells and the public-address system districtwide, with a 10-year support agreement and completion expected by year-end.
The Benicia Unified School District Governing Board on June 17 approved a contract with Packet Fusion for districtwide replacement of clocks, bells and the public-address system, including a 10-year support package.
Director of Technology Miss Egan presented the proposal, saying the current systems are past their useful life and that the negotiated government pricing allowed the district to move the project forward more quickly. Egan told the board the contract covers all district sites and that implementation would begin in summer with completion by the end of the year. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Packet Fusion for $455,414.89; a trustee confirmed that the price covers “all our sites.”
Trustees moved and seconded the item and approved it by roll call. The board recorded “yes” votes from Trustee Manasseh, Trustee Zeta and President Grubbs; the item passed with no opposition.
The contract is to be paid from the district’s Measure C and major capital allocations referenced by staff; Egan said the project was planned in Measure C funding and that pricing was government-pre-negotiated. The item authorizes staff to proceed with procurement and scheduled installation; the board did not discuss vendor warranties in detail at the meeting.
