For the install, we will need everything unloaded, unboxed and placement in a specific area of the building, not necessarily in each room. This will also involve any adjustments to height for the elementary desks.

 

7) With the closure of schools, I wanted to confirm that the district office is still able to accept the bid on the date requested? If adjusted, could you please send the new date for submittal?
As for now, we are prepared to proceed with the date. If anything changes, we will post immediately.

RFP#T20200224 Epson PowerLite 520 projector bid questions:


Question 1: 


I am interested in your RFP for the order of 240 Epson PowerLite 520 - 3LCD projector Part#: V11H674020 and was curious if wall mounts are needed as well?


Answer: No wall mounts are needed. Replied on Feb 26th. 

 

Question 2:

 

Due to the coronavirus outbreak in China, Epson is expecting to see allocation issues on many of their products including the PowerLite 520 projector. Can you confirm if the receipt dates below are absolute required drop-dead dates? There is a chance that inventory could be constrained causing the projectors to arrive after the proposed dates below. We will of course be in close communication with you and Epson to prioritize your order for deliveries ASAP.


Answer: In response to concerns over availability of inventory, we have adjusted our expectation of delivery of the first 100 items to April 30, 2020 with final delivery of the remaining projectors by May 29, 2020. Replied on March 2nd.


Question 3:

Regarding RFP- Technology Equipment, would you consider the upgrade model, EPSON PowerLite 525W WXGA 3LCD Projector MFR# V11H672020?

 

Answer: Your replacement is 16:10 aspect ratio natively and the 520’s we have specified are 4:3 (due to the old promethean boards). We have tested the 520 and have wish to stay with this model if possible for our replacement. Replied on March 2nd. 


Question 4:


The availability of the PowerLITE 520’s looks like it will be an issue with the need by dates in this RFP. Our Epson rep stated, “Probably won’t see any until mid-April as it is an allocated product”. Knowing that you will not be able to receive the projectors as the RFP states, what will the plan be?


Answer: In response to concerns over availability of inventory, we have adjusted our expectation of delivery of the first 100 items to April 30, 2020 with final delivery of the remaining projectors by May 29, 2020. Replied on March 2nd.
