Rationale:

Since 2012 the District implemented the use of Certica Solutions in order to ensure our CALPADS data is accurate and complete as well as meet our compliance deadlines.

Both site office staff have come to rely on daily reminders to update information and we have become much more efficient and accurate correcting CALPADS errors. The District is again seeking to renew the contract agreement with Certica Solutions for Certify, which is Certica's hosted data certification service. They have a proven track record to support districts like ours to organize an easier electronic process validating and monitoring our data daily. It provides performance management to help districts analyze, track and improve CALPADS reporting and ensure compliance.

O.2.d. Agreements with Caltronics and De Lage Landen for Instructional Copiers
Rationale:

The Governing Board approved a five year contract with Caltronics (service and supplies) and De Lage Landen (copier finance) to provide copiers and maintenance to several sites in 2014.  That five year contract period is ending in January 2019.  The original five year agreement included a monthly lease payment as well as a maintenance cost based on copier usage.

Because the copiers are still in good working condition, the two companies have have provided proposals  to continue providing and servicing the copiers for two additional years.  The per-copy charges are slightly higher than the original agreement because of the potential for additional service needs.  However, the lease cost would be lower by half.

The estimated cost of this two year maintenance agreement is about $25,000 per year.  The annual cost for leasing the copies would be $12,223.  The total annual cost would be approximately $37,223, which is a reduction of about $12,000 from total costs in 2017-18.

The business office sent out a survey to principals and administrative assistants at sites currently using Caltronics copiers to ask about efficiency of copier repair, delivery of supplies, and overall satisfaction with the copiers.  The average response for all questions was 4.4 out of 5, with no scores below 4.  Additionally, all respondents indicated that they supported renewing the agreement with Caltronics for an additional two years.

This contract only impacts our current Caltronics copiers.  The majority of the district's copiers are maintained by Ray Morgan Company and will not be affected by this agreement.


 
Recommended Motion:

Staff recommends approval of two year agreements with Caltronics and De Lage Landen.
