District to buy 85 teacher laptops from Eastern Data for $69,955
Summary
After soliciting bids, the board approved awarding a contract to Eastern Data for 85 teacher laptops (total $69,955) to replace four-year-old devices at multiple schools; older machines will be repurposed or disposed.
The board approved awarding the teacher-laptop bid to Eastern Data after staff reviewed multiple vendor proposals and confirmed that Eastern Data's Option 1 met the district's minimum hardware specifications and offered the best price. Staff noted many current devices are four years old and nearing end-of-life, and older machines will be repurposed where possible.
The procurement includes specification-driven selection and options considered (touchscreen and higher-performance models were submitted but did not meet minimum hardware requirements or were more expensive). A motion to award the bid to Eastern Data in the amount of $69,955 was moved and approved.
