Summary: The District issued a Request for Proposals for the procurement of Structured Cabling Services (“RFP”), pursuant to the federal Universal Service Administration Company (“USAC”) requirements and Public Contract Code section 20118.2. Section 20118.2 provides that for the procurement of technology, telecommunications, related equipment, software, and services, the District is to engage in a competitive negotiation with vendors, including but not limited to identifying and evaluating specific criteria. The District is not required to award the contract to the lowest proposer if that proposer did not receive the highest score based on the District’s evaluation criteria.

The District received seven proposals in response to the RFP, which were evaluated and scored by District staff according to the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP. Based on the District’s evaluation, GA Technology Services received the highest score.

This Resolution finds (1) that it is in the District’s best interest to utilize the competitive negotiation procurement method outlined in Public Contract Code section 20118.2 to afford the District the flexibility and evaluation of factors permitted for the procurement of technology and related equipment and services for the Project; and (2) that despite not providing the lowest price, considering all factors evaluated by the District during the RFP process, including the cost services, vendor references, experience and knowledge, methodology, and service level, GA Technology Services meets the project’s requirements, satisfies the District’s RFP, and would provide the District with the most advantageous services that fit within the scope of services sought under the RFP.
Funding: The cost for this item is contingent upon approved funding for the 2022-23 E-Rate year.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees adopt Resolution No. 23:21-22 - Resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Perris Union High School District Authorizing Procurement of Structured Cabling Services.
