1. Since the lottery winning families have the capability of opting in, is the number of 3000 units an actual or projected number of units being requested?
2. MDCPS has contract vehicles in place with various vendors that this request will run concurrently, is it the districts intention to not leverage this RFP and subsequent reward outside of the initial request and funding parameters?
3. Since the specifications that are being requested are considered to be discontinued technology, would it be fair for a response to include technology that is capable of providing the user with the capability of using the listed software applications and not necessarily follow the naming convention of x86 or greater?
4. It appears that the district already participates in this program via Elevate Miami under the Rites of Passage program. Can you please elaborate on how that program currently works for the district and what the envisioned differences will be between this program and Rites of Passage?
5. Under the Elevate Miami program, the participants are receiving a Pentium Class machine with Open Office loaded onto the device. Would this version of Office be considered sufficient in the response to the district?
6. In the Special Conditions document, section 1. sub-section 1.3 it is stated that this bid will be offered to all other subscriber/families participating in the Free/Reduced Lunch program. Is it the districts intent to receive responses that provide all subscriber/families within the district that do not receive a Grant Funded unit the capability to purchase their own units from the responding vendors?
