Questions and Answers

All questions must be submitted in writing to technologybids@fz.k12.mo.us.  Questions through phone calls and messages to other accounts will not be accepted.

Q: Chromebooks and Tough Chromebooks:  The Tech Requirements list an 8GB/32GB configuration. Are you set on that specific combination?

A: These specifications reflect the minimum requirements in each category.  If there is a combination that provides more than listed, that is ok as long as they are at or above the minimum listed.

Q: Chromebooks and Tough Chromebooks:  Is an Intel chipset a requirement?

A: It is required within a vendor's base bid to provide pricing for the specifcations listed.  If a vendor wishes to provide an alternate bid that would provide a high quality option for competitive pricing, that would be advantageous to the district, they may submit that for review as a separate response.  The review committee will examine each bid separately and on its own merits.

Q: Chromebooks and Tough Chromebooks:  Are dual USB-C ports a requirement?  Is a single USB-C acceptable?

A: After further review, it has been determined that a Chromebook with a single USB-C port will be considered acceptable.  However, devices with more than 1 USB-C port will be considered favorably as part of the overall specifications review.

Q: Windows Desktop:  Are Discrete Graphics required?  Are Integrated Graphics acceptable?

A: Discrete Graphics are required, and must support current versions of the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite.

Q: Shipping numbers for PSE appear blank on Appendix C, what should that total be?

A: 50 Chromebooks, no other devices.

Q: Will Fort Zumwalt School District accept a bid proposal pursuant to terms and conditions of a consortium agreement or an existing statewide agreement in lieu of the terms and conditions in the RFP?

A: No, FZSD is seeking responses that meet the terms and conditions of it's own RFP.
