GREEN BAY – During a Feb. 12 special meeting, the Green Bay Area Public Schools (GBAPS) Board of Education awarded a bid for 4,575 Lenovo 300e Gen 4 Chromebooks and “white glove service” in the amount of $1,303,875 to CDW Government, LLC.
According to the memo, the devices needed to be delivered and invoiced prior to June 15.
The vote was moved up to a Feb. 12 special meeting held virtually.
“With the tariffs coming through, it will directly impact school boards and school districts with funding issues on things. We are going to, hopefully, save money from what is going to happen in the future,” GBAPS Board Member Bryan Milz explained.
GBAPS Executive Director of Technology and Information Amy Jaeckel said that white glove service includes enrolling students into the schools’ domain, as well as asset tagging, engraving and green packaging.
“Devices must be boxed up by specific quantities needed per school building. Boxes must be labeled with the school name, the asset numbers and associated barcodes for each device in the box,” a memo from Jaeckel and Jake Alverson, director of procurement stated.
“The district received 10 qualified bids. All vendors that submitted qualified proposals indicated that they were able to meet the requirements of the RFP. Total cost of bids ranged from $1,303,875.00 to $1,532,625.00.”
The board unanimously voted to award the bid to CDW Government, with Andrew Becker and Kou Lee absent.
YS Technologies was awarded the bid for 4,575 Chrome OS Management Licenses in the amount of $131,988.75 by unanimous vote as well.
