RE:
RFP Number 16-33 – Telecommunications Services - eRate
Request for Proposal 16-33 consisted of three parts, Plain Old Telephone Services (POTS),
Primary Rate Interface (PRI), and long distance services. The District received three responses
to the RFP. We are only recommending award for POTS from this RFP. The District has the
option to renew the existing contracts for PRI and long distance services. At this time, renewing
these contracts is in the best interest of the District.
The vendor marked with an asterisk was marked not as specified due to quoting a different
technology that will not satisfy the requirements of the District. POTS is a non-contract, monthto-month service agreement. The POTS lines are fax lines and emergency lines that must remain

Recommendations for RFP 16-33 for POTS
We have completed our review of the responses received by AISD for RFP 16-33 for POTS (Plain Old
Telephone Service). Based on all of the information we have gathered, it is recommended AISD select
AT&T to continue to provide POTS Service to AISD. One vendor quoted a solution that was a different
technology than requested that would not work to satisfy the requirements of AISD, therefore they
should be considered “not as specified”.
The eRate program is federally funded, with discounts on a graduated scale based on the percentage of
students participating in the NSLP free and reduced lunch program. AISD plans to complete the next
step in the application process upon approval for this service.

SUBJECT:
Recommendations for Bid 16-34
We have completed our review of the responses received by AISD for Bid 16-34, “Internet Access
Services”. Based on the information we have gathered, it is recommended AISD select Time Warner
Cable for this service.
Several factors were considered in the requested length for this contracted service of three years.
Installation costs incurred by a selected provider of this type of technology translate to greater annual
savings in cost to AISD in a multi-year arrangement. The entire process to switch to a new or different
internet services provider takes over two months to complete, therefore a multi-year arrangement is
more cost effective for AISD from a personnel perspective. Also, eRate filings for eligible services such as
internet services are streamlined for multi-year arrangements.
The eRate program is federally funded, with discounts on a graduated scale based on the percentage of
students participating in the NSLP free and reduced lunch program. AISD plans to complete the next
step in the application process upon approval for this service.

DISCUSSION:

2014 Bond Program Update
Chief Financial Officer Cindy Powell reported that Arlington ISD voters approved a bond proposition
in the amount of $663,130,000 on May 10, 2014. The proposition is a five-year capital plan that
includes new construction, renovations and facility condition improvements along with capital
purchases for technology, fine arts and transportation. Construction is underway on Peach and
McNutt elementary schools; however, due to unforeseen site conditions and permit requirements,
change orders were needed for both. Construction at Workman Junior High and the six multipurpose activity centers construction are on schedule. Bids for the Career/Tech Center are being
evaluated and construction is planned to start in April. The construction schedule at Jones Academy
of Fine Arts and Dual Language was modified due to foundation problems discovered during design
work. Foundation repairs will be made and then the renovations will start with completion planned for
fall 2017. The outdoor performance area funded by Texas Trust Credit Union will be completed by fall
2016. Design work is ongoing for phase II life cycle condition improvements, elementary STEM labs,
strings rooms and security vestibules. The Sam Houston High School deficiency work and addition
approved by the Board in November will be bid as one construction project. Earlier tonight the Board
approved a recommendation to engage six architecture firms for the phase III projects. Phase III bond
projects are scheduled to begin in spring 2017 and include deficiency improvements and life cycle
replacements for 19 campuses, and tracks for eight junior high schools Year two purchases of fine
arts instruments, equipment and uniforms; security camera and network upgrades; technology
upgrades; buses and white fleet vehicles are also underway. AISD received preliminary notice of a
grant award from SECO for an $80,000 rebate for the purchase of propane buses.

SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT:
Dr. Cavazos reported that the Arlington ISD continues to be a strong supporter of Jump Rope for
Heart and Hoops for Heart. The district had the ninth-highest amount of funds raised in the state in
the 2014-2015 school year with $128,400 raised. The AISD was recognized for this accomplishment
at the Texas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance annual conference in
December. He thanked all of our physical education teachers and coaches for continuing to help
students understand the importance of a healthy heart.
He was honored to welcome participants and say a few words during the closing general session at
the annual Statewide Parental Involvement Conference that was held in December at the Arlington
Convention Center. This great conference brought together educators, parents and community
leaders to help them learn strategies for empowering all stakeholders to increase student
achievement.
Our Board had the pleasure of honoring Tillie Burgin and Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex with
the district’s Community Engaged for Excellence award in December. Dr. Cavazos and several Board
members attended one of their meetings to present a plaque for their unwavering support of our
district and the youth of Arlington. He shared that AISD is proud of the work that they do, and we
know it positively affects the lives of our students daily.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Arlington ISD received the Association of School Business
Officials Meritorious Budget Award for the 2015-2016 budget submission. The district also received a
Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from ASBO, and a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association for the CAFR
report for the fiscal year that ended in June of 2014. These awards are a reflection of the district’s
commitment to fiscal integrity and the quality of our annual budget documents. Congratulations to
Chief Financial Officer Cindy Powell, Executive Director of Finance Tony Drollinger, Director of
Budget and Cash Management Mandy Mew, Director of Accounting Alice Hamrick and all of our
finance staff members for these outstanding honors.
A team of Bailey Junior High staff members worked to create an AED (Automated External
Defibrillator) emergency plan and has been recognized by Cook Children's Medical Center as a

Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam's Memory) Heart-Safe School. The school has a
cardiac emergency response designated team, written plans and AED drills, and it has educated
school staff on the warning signs and treatment of sudden cardiac death. All of our schools have an
AED on campus and staff is trained each year to use it.
Dr. Cavazos thanked the new Park Place Motorcars Mercedes-Benz dealership in Arlington for
donating 122 winter coats to the AISD Families in Transition department. They sponsored a coat
drive during the month of December, and we are so thankful for their support.
This afternoon President Sullins and Dr. Cavazos had the opportunity to see Texas Lieutenant
Governor Dan Patrick speak to seventh graders at Young Junior High. After he shared an example of
the legislative process with the students and answered their questions, they led him to a CTHEI class
at Young so he could learn more about this innovative program. This was a great experience for our
students and Dr. Cavazos thanked Lieutenant Governor Patrick for taking the time to visit Young
Junior High today.
SCHOOL BOARD’S REPORT:
Kecia Mays shared that, like Dr. Reich, she is looking forward to parents from Seguin High School
and Bowie High School networks volunteering to serve on the Financial Futures Committee. She
thanked all the schools, teachers and students for the items shared in honor of School Board
Appreciation Month. She also thanked the Rankin Elementary School student for her artwork and the
MLK committee for all the upcoming weekend opportunities. Ms. Mays shared a favorite quote,
“Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.”
Polly Walton thanked all the schools, students and organizations for the cards, signs, cookies and
donations provided in honor of Board Appreciation Month.
John Hibbs, Board Secretary, reported a request for Administration to bring a plan to gather and
report feedback on the strategic plan to the Board.

SUBJECT:
Method of Procurement for Enterprise Centre Capital Improvements Project
State law sets forth eight procurement methods that governmental entities, including school districts,
can use to procure construction services. As summarized in Board Policy CV (LEGAL), the law requires
all district construction contracts valued at $50,000 or more in the aggregate for each 12 month period
to be made by the method that provides the best value to the district, and the Board must declare the
procurement method to be used for each project. The two methods used most commonly statewide are
Competitive Sealed Proposal and Construction Manager at Risk. Following is a brief description of
these procurement methods and a recommendation for the procurement method to be used for the
capital improvements project at the Enterprise Centre.
Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP)
CSP is a delivery method similar to competitive bidding in that the District selects an Architect/Engineer
to design the project. Once the construction documents are fully completed, the District solicits
proposals from contractors to perform the work. Selection is generally based on a combination of price
and other factors that the District deems in its best interest, such as project team personnel, schedule,
contractors past experience, etc.
Construction Management at Risk (CMR)
CMR is a delivery method wherein the Construction Manager at Risk serves as the General Contractor
assuming the risk for construction guaranteed price and provides design phase consultation in
evaluating costs, schedule, implications of alternative designs and systems and materials during and
after design of the facility.
Based on the project scope, size, and simplicity, as well as very competitive market conditions for this
type of project, the District will receive best value by employing CSP as the method of procurement.
District Administration is recommending that Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) be selected as the
procurement method for the Enterprise Centre Capital Improvements Project.

ARLINGTON ISD PROCEDURES FOR ELECTRONIC RECEIPT OF BIDS OR PROPOSALS Page 1 of 2 Pursuant to Texas Education Code 44.0313, “Procedures for Electronic Bids or Proposals,” the District may accept bids or proposals through electronic transmission in accordance with Board adopted procedures. Such procedures will safeguard the integrity of the competitive procurement process by ensuring the identification, security, and confidentiality of electronic bids or proposals and ensuring that the electronic bids or proposals remain effectively un‐opened until the proper time. The following procedures will be followed by District staff and agreed to by any electronic procurement system (“System”) provider utilized by the District: Technology: 1. Data transmitted between end‐user computing devices and the System must be encrypted using industry standard security methods, such as secure socket layer (SSL) encryption. 2. The District and/or provider of the System must have reasonable plans in place for System redundancy and disaster recovery. 3. If an electronic processing system is selected for the solicitation and receipt of bids or proposals, the Superintendent or designee shall provide a letter certification that details compliance with state law. User Accounts: 1. End users (District and suppliers) are required to access the System through unique login accounts consisting of a user name and a password. 2. End user passwords are stored in an encrypted manner that cannot be accessed by any other user. District administrative accounts will only be provided access to reset an end user password through standard System functionality. 3. End‐user sessions will automatically expire or be automatically logged out after a reasonable period of System inactivity. Procurement Process: 1. Supplier response data to sealed bids or proposals will be stored in an encrypted format during the period in which responses can be submitted. During this period, supplier response data will only be viewable by the supplier who created the response. 2. The System will not allow for any late bids after the closing date and time. 3. After the closing date and time has passed, the System will provide authorized District staff the ability to “unseal” the submitted responses. This function will decrypt the supplier data, providing District staff the ability to view the response data. 83

The System will perform auditing of actions taken by District users on a bid or proposal, including but not limited to the dates the bid was issued, closed, unsealed, awarded, and the like. 5. The System will perform auditing of actions taken by suppliers in response to a bid or proposal, including but not limited to when suppliers viewed the opportunity, submitted their response, attempted to submit after the closing date, and the like. 6. The System will retain procurement data based on the District’s internal data retention requirements, which may be based on the requirements of the Texas records retention schedule. Retained data will include electronic bids and proposals, supplier responses, award notifications, supplier contact data, and system communications. 84

Dear Ms. Tammy Craig, Director of Purchasing,
Ion Wave Technologies Inc. certifies that our electronic bidding application, Enterprise Sourcing, complies with Section 44.0313
of the Education Code by providing the following security steps and/or features:








All electronic sealed bid data is stored in encrypted fields while the solicitation is still available for supplier responses.
Identity authentication: Each buyer and supplier user is required to use a unique user account and password.
Further, the District may request additional identity information within an electronic bid event.
The District has options for dictating password requirements/complexity.
All data transmitted between end users and the system is encrypted using standard Secure Sockets Layer technology.
Passwords are stored in an encrypted format using a one-way hash. This ensures that passwords cannot be
recovered by system administrators or by the system itself.
User sessions are validated to prevent hijacking and expire after inactivity.
Key buyer and supplier activities are audited, such as response submission or solicitation unsealing.
The application will not allow for any late bid submissions by suppliers after the closing date and time.
Two primary levels of security exist to ensure bidders can only access their own electronic bid data:
First, all electronic sealed bid data is encrypted at the database level utilizing a security key uniquely generated for each bidding
event. This protects the sealed data from everything but the bidding application itself, which is the only component that has
the security logic and seeds required to generate the security key. This provides protecting from system administrators and any
potential risks of external hackers.
Second, the application includes security checks on every page that displays bid data to ensure that only the vendor who
entered the electronic sealed bid data can view their own electronic sealed bid data. All other users are denied access to
electronic sealed bid data by these security checks.
As a result of the above mentioned security measures, electronic sealed bid information is sealed in an electronic lockbox and
unavailable to all system users until after a bid’s due date and time passes. Electronic Bid Responses are time-stamped upon
acceptance by the system. Time-stamps are reported in the Respondents report and in the Bid History logs. Authorized users,
as established by system roles, may “Unseal” a bid at the appropriate time to begin bid evaluation and review.
IWT’s systems are configured to perform multiple backups throughout the day, both within our hosting center as well as to a
secure offsite storage method. IWT performs full transaction logging and backup, allowing for recovery to a specific point in
time as needed.
Currently, IWT does not enforce any data retention limits on our customers. For customers with an active license agreement,
all system generated procurement data is retained and available on demand. Customers also have the ability to download
copies of documents loaded into or generated by the application. Clients have the right to retain a copy of all downloaded
documents in perpetuity.
Sincerely,
Darren C Henderson
CEO
