Summary
Technology Director Mike Stephayn told the Finance Committee the recommended Vector Tech Group bid totals $448,788; after an E-Rate discount the district’s net cost would be $179,515.20, and the project will be presented to the full Board for formal approval.
Technology Director Mike Stephayn presented a technology procurement recommendation to the Gull Lake Community Schools Finance Committee on Feb. 9, saying, "The recommended bid from Vector Tech Group totals $448,788.00." He told members the scope includes a network refresh of core switches and wireless access points at GLHS, GLMS, Ryan Intermediate, Bedford and the Administration Building and that the plan aligns with the district's five-year technology plan.
Stephayn and the Committee discussed funding: the project carries an E-Rate discount of $269,272.80, leaving a district responsibility of $179,515.20 to be funded from Technology Bond Series 2. The recommendation was reviewed by the Facilities Committee and, per the presentation, will be placed on the Board agenda for formal approval at a future meeting.
Committee members asked procedural questions about timeline and coordination with facilities; no formal approval occurred at the Finance Committee meeting. Next steps are Board consideration and any required contract execution after Board action.
