AAPS Briefed on Wireless Network Bids

By

Award of a contract to Sentinel Technologies, Inc. for replacement of the Ann Arbor Public Schools computer network and wireless infrastructure is being recommended by district administration. The board of trustees was briefed on the Sentinel Technologies $5,192,871 bid  at its Oct. 10, 2012 meeting. The work is to be done with proceeds of the technology bond approved by voters in May 2012.

The bid from the Illinois-based Sentinel’s was one of four received by the district. A lower bid from a Grand Rapids firm, ISI, was judged to be incomplete by the district’s review team. [.pdf of bid tab review]
