Whereas, for the Wireless Network Electronics, the price, being the primary weight factor (70%) and the service provider reputation and experience with the district being the secondary weight factor (30%), Delta Network Systems, with a proposed price of $47, is lower than the State of Michigan REMC price of $55, (See Enclosed Bid Evaluation Worksheets) Whereby; the estimated district portion to be paid for the Wireless Network Electronics bid is $4, after USF E-Rate reimbursements. Whereas, for the Server Upgrades, the price, being the primary weight factor (70%) and the service provider reputation and experience with the district being the secondary weight factor (30%), Inacomptechnical Services Group, LLC., with a proposed price of $14, is lower than the State of Michigan REMC price of $17, (See Enclosed Bid Evaluation Worksheets) Whereby; the estimated district portion to be paid for the Server Upgrades bid is $1, after USF E-Rate reimbursements.
