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 active in the event the building loses electrical power. These lines are located in all schools and administrative buildings. Attached is a letter of recommendation from Lance McCutchen, Director of Network Services for POTS. It is recommended that the low bid meeting specifications be approved. cc: Tony Drollinger Executive Director of Finance 21 ARLINGTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT Inter-Office Communication TO: Tammy Craig, Director of Purchasing FROM: Lance McCutchen, Director of Network Services DATE: January 22, 2016 SUBJECT: 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. 22 ARLINGTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT RFP# 16-33 Telecommunications Services - eRate Plain Old Telephone Services (POTS) VENDOR ID NUMBER: SPIN #: ONE-TIME INITIAL COST: TERMS: AT& T Granite Masergy* 15331000 Not Set Up Not Set UP 143004662 NA 143033715 $0 - Existing Svs NET 30 RESIDENT VENDOR: HUB VENDOR: DESCRIPTION NET 30 NET 30 Texas Texas Texas District District District NO NO NO PRICE PRICE PRICE 752 Lines Total - AISD School District $ 11,923.04 $ 24,412.00 12 Month Total $ . 143,076.48 $ . 292,944.00 Total Per Month Point-of-Presence (POP) in DFW metroplex Vendor has provided similar service to AISD previously Local POP is a Tier 1 provider AND support staff are employed directly by bidder References Provided YES YES YES NO YES YES YES YES .

We received six responses to this RFP. The contract is for three years, the tabulation represents the yearly cost of this service. Attached is a letter of recommendation from Lance McCutchen, Director Network Services. It is recommended that the low bid meeting specifications be approved. cc: Tony Drollinger Executive Director of Finance 24 ARLINGTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT Inter-Office Communication TO: Tammy Craig, Director of Purchasing FROM: Lance McCutchen, Director Network Services DATE: January 22, 2016 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.

TBill 1.0 0.0 80 MEMORANDUM TO: Cindy Powell, Chief Financial Officer FROM: Wm. Kelly Horn, Executive Director of Plant Service DATE: January 26, 2016 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. 81 82 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 ARLINGTON ISD PROCEDURES FOR ELECTRONIC RECEIPT OF BIDS OR PROPOSALS Page 2 of 2 4. 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 3653 South Avenue ● Springfield, MO 65807 January 19, 2016 Arlington Independent School District 1203 West Pioneer Parkway Arlington, TX 76013 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 85
