DeArmond is attached (here). These funds are budgeted in the Technology Expense budget for 2017-18 utilizing fund 11.

Over the next year, we will evaluate other Internet filtering options to determine if we are receiving the best value as our contract will be available for renewal.

D. Fort Riley Middle School – Initial Network Upgrade (DeArmond)

Commentary:

Part of the 2017-18 Master Plan included significant network upgrades at Fort Riley Middle School. Fort Riley Middle School is the location where our backups are sent to for basic disaster recovery. Currently, the connection between the Devin Center and Fort Riley Middle School is 1 gigabit per second (gbps), and we are proposing to increase the capacity to 10 gbps following the successful implementation of new equipment at the Devin Center. A memo from Karl DeArmond is attached (here). These funds are budgeted in the Master Plan budget for 2017-18 school year utilizing fund 11.

We propose to split the project into two phases to maximize eRate reimbursement while implementing technology in the building as soon as possible.

In February, we will most likely pursue a second phase to the project that will exhaust the remaining eRate funds. Splitting the project into two phases allows students to capitalize on the new equipment for the 2017-18 school year and will provide us immediate feedback on the equipment we plan to implement district-wide.

Additionally, we will receive trade-in credit when we exchange network equipment that is end of life. The estimated rebate for this equipment is $5,000, but that discount is not included in the total cost Board of Education Agenda July 10, 2017 Page 12

presented to the Board in the event that we could not return the equipment for whatever reason.

Staff recommends that the Board of Education approve the purchase of networking equipment for $36,087.74 K12ITC and $3,894 for network adapters from Unite Private Networks.

Re: On-Call Architectural Services

Schafer Johnson Cox Frey (SJCF) currently serves as the On-Call Architectural Service firm for USD 475. The current contract (AIA B101, dated 1 July 2011) for on-call architectural/engineering work is due for annual renewal.

The fee schedule and hourly rate schedule is attached. For large scope work, the attached floating fee schedule would apply (no change from previous years). For smaller work (under $250,000), the hourly rate schedule or an agreed on fixed fee would apply (note: hourly rates have remained the same as they were for the previous two school years). The percentage fee, fixed fee, or hourly rate method of compensation would be agreed to in advance for each project.

Staff recommends the Board of Education approve the use of Schafer Johnson Cox Frey (SJCF) as the On-Call Architectural Service firm for USD 475 for the 2017-2018 school year and adopt the enclosed fee and hourly rate schedule. Retention of SJCF will help ensure continuity of performance and institutional knowledge during the District’s “Way Forward” campaign.

Re: 2017-2018 Insurance Program with Employers Mutual Companies (EMC)

USD 475 currently contracts with Employers Mutual Companies (EMC) for insurance across the District. Insurance under EMC includes: General liability, Property, Business auto, Crime, Leaders E&O, and Inland Marine.

Projected costs are as follows (Deductibles: $10k – Property / $3k – Auto):

2015-2016 2016-2017 2017-2018 Commercial Property $210,436 $237,464 $240,410 Commercial Liability $6,037 $6,578 $6,845 Linebacker $9,184 $8,786 $8,786 Cyber Solutions $231 $719 $514 Govt Crime/ISO $3,647 $3,617 $3,238 Com’l Inland Marine $3,534 $3,534 $3,503 Business Auto $18,350 $21,792 $23,751 Commercial Umbrella $6,464 $6,863* $13,101 Terrorism $5,869 INCL INCL Changes During the Yr $11,447 $6,765 TBD Treasurer’s Bond $300 $300 $300 Servicing Fee $30,000 $28,900 $30,035 Total $305,499 $325,318 $330,038

The projected cost above reflects a $4,720 increase from the 2016-2017 estimate; the increase reflects an overall 1.45% increase over last year’s premiums. The increase for 2017-2018 is attributed to: Insurance Services Office base rate increased nationally from 0.80 to 0.818 for all commercial property insurance. *The expiring umbrella premium is $13,628 & the proposed is $13,104. USD increased the limit from $1M to $5M effective 08-01-2016.

Staff recommends the Board of Education approve the District’s insurance program with EMC for the 2017-2018 year in the amount of $330,038.00.

RE Lightspeed (Web filtering) Payment - $33,300

In July 2015, we entered into a three-year agreement with Trebron Company who sells Lightspeed to filter all network traffic for devices on our network. The application also allows us to filter Internet traffic for students while they are off our network as well. This functionality helps us meet and exceed Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requirements. This $33,300 payment is laid out in our agreement with Lightspeed and identical to our payment last year.

Over the next year, we will evaluate other Internet filtering options to determine if we are receiving the best value as our contract will be available for renewal. We will also need to increase the filtering capacity of our equipment so that we do not create a bottleneck when we plan to increase Internet bandwidth as a whole next year.

Staff recommends that the Board of Education approve the third and final payment of $33,300 to Trebron Company for Lightspeed Web Filter. These funds are budgeted in the Technology Expense budget for 2017-18 utilizing fund 11.

RE Fort Riley Middle School – Initial Network Upgrade

Part of the 2017-18 Master Plan included significant network upgrades at Fort Riley Middle School. Fort Riley Middle School is the location where our backups are sent to for basic disaster recovery. Currently, the connection between the Devin Center and Fort Riley Middle School is 1 gigabit per second (gbps), and we are proposing to increase the capacity to 10 gbps following the successful implementation of new equipment at the Devin Center. Upgrading the equipment at Fort Riley Middle School would meet the Technology Department’s goal to increase reliability and the speed of the network.

We propose to split the project into two phases to maximize eRate reimbursement while implementing technology in the building as soon as possible. Currently, Fort Riley Middle School has approximately $46,000 worth of eRate funds available, which should be spent before the window closes on those funds in 2020; however, $46,000 will not cover the estimated $95,000 scope of the project. In our opinion, we believe that it would be best to upgrade the equipment at Fort Riley Middle School and reallocate the current equipment to other buildings that do not have the eRate funds available.

This first phase of the project will include:  New “core” switch  New access-level switches in the main wiring closet  New access-level switches in one of the wiring closets that servers student classrooms  New 10 gbps network adapters

In February, we will most likely pursue a second phase to the project that will exhaust the remaining eRate funds. Splitting the project into two phases allows students to capitalize on the new equipment for the 2017-18 school year and will provide us immediate feedback on the equipment we plan to implement district-wide. K12ITC is the reseller that holds the preferential pricing for CISCO networking equipment that other competitors are not able to beat. Unite Private Networks provides the district our fiber infrastructure, and we are contractually obligated to purchase our network adapters from them when connecting to their fiber.

Additionally, we will receive trade-in credit when we exchange network equipment that is end of life. The estimated rebate for this equipment is $5,000, but that discount is not included in the total cost presented to the Board in the event that we could not return the equipment for whatever reason.

Staff recommends that the Board of Education approve the purchase of networking equipment for $36,087.74 K12ITC and $3,894 for network adapters from Unite Private Networks. These funds are budgeted in the Master Plan budget for 2017-18 school year utilizing fund 11.

Re: Mower replacements for 2017-2018

There was $60,000 budgeted for the replacement of two John Deere 1445 Series II mowers this year as part of the recently approved six-year plan. It is our recommendation to instead retain these mowers for snow removal purposes and purchase the following mowers which will enhance our efforts in providing professional lawn care throughout the district. The mowers requested are:  Two (2) - 2017 John Deere Z997R Diesel Mowers w/ 72” Deck  One (1) – 2017 John Deere Z997R Diesel Mower w/ 60” Deck and 14 Bushel Dump

These mowers are far better suited for mowing large areas, uneven terrain and hill sides. These mowers are available to us by utilizing the Kansas Lawn Equipment Contract #39910. A full description of each mower is attached.

Staff recommends that the Board of Education authorize the purchase of three John Deere Z997R mowers as described for a total of $58,799.41 from John Deere & Company (through Concordia Tractor, Inc.) as part of the district six-year plan.
