Board approves districtwide wireless-access RFP; hardware price listed at $375,534
Summary
The board approved awarding the districtwide wireless access-point replacement to Howard Technology Solutions; administrators said the hardware value is $375,534 and the district’s share was described as 19% contingent on B‑rate funding approval.
The Union County Board of School Trustees voted to award the districtwide wireless access-point replacement to Howard Technology Solutions after the administration recommended the contract during the Feb. 23 meeting.
Administration presented the recommendation and stated the hardware portion of the contract is valued at $375,534. The administration said Union County Schools would pay a 19 percent share contingent on the district’s use of B‑rate funds (the transcript phrase describing the district share was unclear in parts; the administration indicated the arrangement depends on funding approvals). The board approved the RFP award on a roll-call vote with one member recorded as opposed.
Board members asked no substantive questions before the vote. The contract award was described as an administration recommendation; the business office will proceed with required purchase paperwork and any funding approvals needed to finalize the transaction.
The board did not identify a planned installation schedule in the meeting discussion.
