1.1 INTENT

1.2

It is the intent of L’Anse Creuse Public Schools (here after referred to as “Owner,” also as “District”) to solicit proposals from qualified vendors for refreshing current Technology Education labs at two high schools and four middle schools with a Lab-Volt or equivalent solution. The Owner has existing Technology Education Labs in place at each of the six buildings. Appendix VI contains information on the current setup. The proposed system must be a complete solution including all hardware and software modules, workstations, management system, associated furniture and installation services. Training and any lesson plans/supplemental materials must be included at no cost to the District. The District will provide network connectivity, specifically, network drops and the network electronics necessary to activate those drops. Ideally, the proposed solution will utilize the existing fileservers (running Windows 2000). If the proposed solution cannot utilize the existing fileservers, then the successful contractor must include any fileservers, network operating system software and installation services necessary in connection with the fileserver. Bidders may partner with another provider to supply a complete, turnkey solution. If your response contains proposed services or equipment from multiple providers, all responding parties must be clearly identified and a synopsis of the partner relationship as well as the party that will serve as the prime vendor/contact for the District must be detailed. The Owner reserves the right to proceed with the provider deemed most suitable. All labs must be installed and operational by October 15, 2005. Training must be coordinated with Owner.

SECTION C TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION LABS


4 TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION LABS

4.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

4.1.1 Project Overview

This section describes the technical and operational specifications of the various components of the Technology Education Labs to be proposed. The District has one Lab-Volt lab in place at each of the four middle schools and two high schools (see Appendix VI for existing modules). The District is seeking proposals to refresh six (6) Technology Education Labs at two high schools and four middle schools with a Lab-Volt or equivalent solution. While the District does not intend to use the existing modules once the new lab is installed, they must be licensed to do so. In other words, the proposed solution must not be an upgrade but rather, new licensing. Appendix I contains site information. All existing labs have 14 existing computer workstations. Through this project, labs will be expanded to 28 student computer workstations and one teacher workstation. The District is seeking turnkey proposals including all hardware, software modules, management system, workstations, furniture, curriculum materials, and installation services and any additional components necessary for a fully functioning Technology Education lab solution. Please note that the District already has some of the furniture necessary and is seeking upgrades to that furniture. Training, curriculum resources and other consumables must be included at no charge to the District. The District will provide all cabling and network connectivity, based on needs outlined by the successful vendor. Additionally, the District’s desire is to use the existing district fileservers (running Windows 2000 and housed at Special Services) rather than purchasing a separate fileserver for this solution. If the proposed solution cannot use the existing fileserver resources, the proposed solution must include any fileservers, network operating systems and installation services for a fully functioning solution. All labs must be completed and fully operational by October 15, 2005. 4.2 CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS

Appendix III contains the modular curriculum requirements for these courses. Vendors shall propose a solution that supports the desired modules in Appendix III, accommodating 28 students and one teacher at each site. The proposed solution shall be evaluated, in addition to the criteria listed in section 1.44, on the richness of the curriculum, integration with the curriculum, availability of curriculum materials. The proposed solution must include all components necessary for a fully functioning solution.

4.2.1 Workstation Requirements

The successful vendor must provide and install a sufficient quantity of workstations to accommodate a class of up to 28 students plus a teacher desktop and a class laptop (see Appendix IV for further details). To facilitate support and to maintain consistency within the District, the District prefers that the successful vendor propose HP computers. The successful vendor may

L’Anse Creuse Public Schools SECTION C Technology Education Labs - RFP obtain the workstations from Sehi, the holder of the REMC bid for HP workstations. For pricing purposes, include any installation costs associated with the workstations and any overhead you will charge to obtain the workstations. In order to obtain a complete solution, payment for the workstations will be made to the Technology Education Lab vendor. Include detailed configuration requirements associated with your solution. 4.2.2 Printer Requirements

The District shall provide all printers. State any concerns or requirements based on your proposed solution. 4.2.3 Software and Additional Hardware

The proposed solution must include all software necessary for a fully functional solution. The proposed solution must include all hardware included in Appendix IV. Unless otherwise noted, the proposed solution must also include any additional hardware necessary for a complete solution (e.g., robotics arm, wind tunnel). Include a detailed description of all hardware included in the proposal. All software and hardware must include installation services. 4.2.4 Customized Classroom Management

The proposed solution must include a management solution, providing the ability to customize lessons on an individual, group or class basis. The solution must include the ability to create instructor-designed modules Please identify as such and include a description of the functionality of the proposed solution. 4.2 FLOORPLANS

Appendix II contains the floorplans for the three labs that will receive new layouts. Vendors shall note any issues with the layout in their proposal. 4.3 NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

The District has a district wide network with 10/100 Mbps to the desktop and a 1Gbps backbone. A server farm running Windows 2000 provides all fileserver and storage capacity for the District. All existing cabling in these rooms is CAT5. All network electronics are Nortel; the fileservers are HP manufactured. New workstations purchased through this RFP shall run Windows XP. 4.3.1 Existing Topology All existing labs except for the lab at Middle School East and the lab at Middle School South do not run on the existing district network. These four labs (HS, HSN, MSC and MSN) have networks contained within their respective rooms, with CAT5 patch cables connecting to a 3Com hub/switch. All existing labs have 14 student workstations. A workstation running Windows 2000 acts as a server in a peer to peer network in these rooms. Through a separate project, the District will add these rooms to the district-wide network by upgrading the network electronics within the lab and connecting these electronics to the main network (in essence, establishing a small IDF within the lab). Vendors should anticipate connectivity to the district-wide network by the time of installation.

L’Anse Creuse Public Schools SECTION C Technology Education Labs - RFP See 4.3.2 below for Vendor cabling responsibilities. It is anticipated that the Windows 2000 server currently in these rooms will no longer be necessary. Provide a detailed description of whether your solution will run successfully in this environment. State all network and fileserver requirements. 4.3.2 Cabling and Network Connectivity

The labs are currently wired with CAT5 drops based on the current configuration, either run to a hub within the room or to the building MDF/IDF (see section 4.3.1. above). The lab layouts at Middle School East, Middle School North and Middle School Central will remain in their current configuration. New layouts will be implemented at High School, High School North and Middle School South. See Appendix II for new layouts. For the three existing layouts, Vendors shall be responsible for providing and running new patch cables from the 14 additional workstations to the network electronics located within the room at Middle School North and Middle School Central. The Vendor shall be responsible for providing 14 patch cables and connecting to existing drops within the room at Middle School East. It is anticipated that the existing patch cables can be re-used for the other 14 student workstations and teacher computer. For the three labs that will be reconfigured (HS, HSN and MS South), the successful vendor shall be responsible for providing and installing patch cables to connect all workstations to the network electronics located within the lab. Please be aware that there are some drops within the Middle School South lab that are home run to the district network already and as such, may require shorter patch cables. In summary, all cabling installed by vendors shall be patch cables within the lab environment, either running to network electronics located within the lab environment (e.g., separate room within the greater lab area) or to a drop that runs back to a building wiring closet. All drops necessary to connect the existing labs to the building network (e.g., drops from the electronics within the lab environment to the building wiring closet will be performed by others). Additional responsibilities of the Technology Education Lab vendor include all services necessary to establish full function including, but not limited to: identify any concerns with current configuration, replace the existing workstations with new ones, install new lab modules, establish network connectivity and test network connectivity from all lab workstations, upgrade/install new furniture and provide training as detailed later in this RFP. 4.3.3 Fileserver

The District would like to use existing server capacity to accommodate the Technology Education Labs. Identify requirements and any compatibility issues in your response. If the proposed solution cannot utilize the existing servers, you must include all necessary servers, software, installation and testing services necessary to accommodate your solution.


4.4 FURNITURE

Proposals shall include all Greene furniture or equivalent in Appendix V. Include a detailed layout for both rooms and a bill of materials. 4.5 TRAINING

Vendors shall include up to 40 hours of training for six individuals at no charge to the District. Training shall be coordinated in advance with the District. The vendor shall provide a proposed agenda at least 10 days before training occurs for approval by the District. Training shall occur on-site. 4.6 OPTIONS

Please include a complete list (with costs) of additional modules/islands available. Please provide a detailed description of each item. 4.7 INSTALLATION

APPENDIX VIII Prevailing Wages Requirements

4.9 REQUIREMENTS OF

MICHIGAN PUBLIC ACT 166 OF 1965, PREVAILING WAGES ON STATE PROJECTS

The Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth determines prevailing rates pursuant to the Prevailing Wage Law, Act 166, P.A. of 1965. The purpose of establishing prevailing rates is to provide rates of pay for workers on construction projects for which the state or a school district is the contracting agent and which is financed or financially supported by the state. By law, prevailing rates are compiled from the rates contained in collectively bargained agreements which cover the locations of the state projects. The attached prevailing rates provide an hourly rate which INCLUDES wage and fringe benefit totals for designated construction mechanic classifications. The overtime rates also include wage and fringe benefit totals. Please pay special attention to the overtime and premium pay requirements. The prevailing rate may be satisfied by payment in cash or payment in cash and credit for fringe benefits paid in cash or on behalf of a worker or fringe benefits provided to a worker.

State of Michigan responsibilities under the law: • The department establishes the prevailing rate for each classification of construction mechanic

requested by a contracting agent prior to contracts being let out for bid on a state project.

Contracting agent responsibilities under the law: • If a contract is not awarded or construction does not start within 90 days of the date of the issuance of

rates, a re-determination of rates must be requested by the contracting agent.

• Rates for classifications needed but not provided on the Prevailing Rate Schedule, including rates for registered apprentices, must be obtained prior to contracts being let out for bid on a state project.

• The contracting agent, by written notice to the contractor and the sureties of the contractor known to the contracting agent, may terminate the contractor's right to proceed with that part of the contract, for which less than the prevailing rates of wages and fringe benefits have been or will be paid, and may proceed to complete the contract by separate agreement with another contractor or otherwise, and the original contractor and his sureties shall be liable to the contracting agent for any excess costs occasioned thereby.

Contractor responsibilities under the law: • Every contractor and subcontractor shall keep posted on the construction site, in a conspicuous place,

a copy of all prevailing wage and fringe benefit rates prescribed in a contract.

• Every contractor and subcontractor shall keep an accurate record showing the name and occupation of and the actual wages and benefits paid to each construction mechanic employed by him in connection with said contract. This record shall be available for reasonable inspection by the contracting agent or the department.

• Each contractor or subcontractor is separately liable for the payment of the prevailing rate to its employees.

• The prime contractor is responsible for advising all subcontractors of the requirement to pay the prevailing rate prior to commencement of work.

• The prime contractor is secondarily liable for payment of prevailing rates that are not paid by a subcontractor.

• A construction mechanic shall only be paid the apprentice rate if registered with the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training and the rate is included in the contract.

August 2005

L’Anse Creuse Public Schools SECTION D Technology Education Labs - RFP Enforcement: A person who has information of an alleged prevailing wage violation on a state project may file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division. The department will investigate and attempt to resolve the complaint informally.

Executive Order Number 2003-001 requires that contractors doing business with the State of Michigan be in compliance with state and federal law. A violation of Act 166 of 1965, as amended, the Prevailing Wages on State Projects act or Act 390 of 1978, as amended, the Payment of Wages and Fringe Benefits Act, may result in the debarment of a contractor from being awarded a contract for the provision of goods and services to the State of Michigan for a period of up to eight (8) years.
