Common use of Device Options Clause in Contracts

Device Options. The Department wishes to enable schools, who so desire, to enhance or complement the basic solution with additional, optional software and hardware at their own local costs. Each Bidder should describe what it can offer, separately priced, to enhance schools’ effective use of the basic solution—strictly as an option for local school units to consider should the Bidder become the awarded Provider. Schools may also opt to acquire such offerings independently if they are able to obtain better pricing from other parties. The Bidder shall include only those products, models and features that it will support if configured and connected to the proposed solution. The Bidder should specify and describe fully here the features, functions and advantages of such offerings. Provide the price quote on Appendix B, Cost Proposal Form, Table 4 for each item, including all cost options (please use consistent item numbers in this section and on Appendix B, Cost Proposal Form, Table 4). Specify whether the price includes shipping, installation and related charges; if not, specify what additional charges would be added. Ensure that the total cost is represented. The Bidder is to provide the manufacturer name, model, short description, warranty, unit and volume prices. Also, include any additional cables, connectors and adapters required. If any software upgrades or additional features are required, so state. These devices, cables, connectors and adapters must be available through the Bidder’s corporation for delivery to the individual sites. The value of such offerings will not be considered in the evaluation score of the proposal.
