E.1. Elementary School Network Upgrade Approval
Quick Summary / Abstract:
A network modernization for all four elementary schools, including one contract with AMS.NET and two Authorizations to Order with SPURR, is presented to the Governing Board for approval and action.
Rationale:

The four LGUSD Elementary School wireless and wired networks are in need of a substantial modernization to meet the computing needs of students and staff today and into the future. The upgrade of fiber optic cable, switches and wireless access points will dramatically increase the reliability, capacity and speed of both the wireless and wired networks. The schools' fiber optic backbone speed will increase from 1Gb to 10Gb and the wireless network speed and capacity will increase significantly as well. AMS.NET's expedited timeline for the initial phase of this project includes a new functioning network by January 2021.

AMS & SPURR are currently providing piggy-backable contracts, with pre-negotiated terms that allow us to contract on an expedited basis. 

 
Recommended Motion:
A network upgrade for all four elementary schools, including one contract and two Authorizations to Order, is presented to the Governing Board for approval and action.
Financial Impact:
The financial impact for Phase one will be $804,220.02.  This project will be funded through developer fees.

E.2. Curative Contract Approval
Quick Summary / Abstract:

Based on the Santa Clara County negotiated terms,  the District is interested in contracting with Curative to provide on-site, self-administered COVID testing, analysis and reporting for all employees.  A contract with Curative for the 2020-21 school year is presented to the Governing Board for approval and action.

Rationale:

Although there are several testing options that we have reviewed, this agreement provides a number of benefits that make it most appealing.

Curative provides necessary training for districts to deploy, supervise and collect self-administered tests. No medical certification is required to administer the tests.

Tests are conducted on site.

Test is a cheek swab and is self-administered. 

Turn around on the test reporting is within 48 hours.

All employee costs will be billed directly to the insurance carrier.  (There is no immediate cost to the District although will ultimately impact our health plan utilization)

Employees may still be tested by other health care providers at their choice. 

Testing is available for students and can be billed to their insurance carrier.  However, any unpaid tests will be billed to the District.


 
Recommended Motion:
A contract with Curative for the 2020-21 school year is presented to the Governing Board for approval and action.
Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact at this time.
