Scope
Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) is seeking a single vendor to provide equipment, installation, training, and an electronic portal for the execution of the FLCC’s USDA Distance Learning and Telemedicine grant award. FLCC has partnered with several school districts, Finger Lakes Area Counseling and Recovery Agency (FLACRA), and Family Counseling of the Finger Lakes (FCFL) to provide HyFlex equipment, installation, training and development of a portal to assist with Concurrent Enrollment, Distance Learning, and Distance Learning sharing among partner K-12 districts, and provision of telemedicine services, counseling, and preventative information. Along with the location installations listed the project also requires access to an online portal that allows communication between FLCC and its partnering districts. The portal will allow FLCC to post dual credit and course offerings, communicate news, and advertise certifications, and 2/4-year programs. Districts will also be able to post course needs and course offerings to establish course sharing partnerships. In addition, instructional resources are also provided for teachers if they wish to enhance their curriculum. The bids must include 3 years of hardware, and software support, and three years of support for the portal. While only some of the locations require prevailing rate, all of the locations require delivery, installation, and setup of the hardware. There are 24 locations with the following configurations:
