Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Please discuss your firm’s experience and qualifications with providing graduation items and services to school districts. Please include information regarding your firm’s years of operation and service to school districts of similar size to the Shawnee Mission School District, as well as general information about your staffing size. 2. Assuming a graduation date in May of each year, discuss the general timeline utilized by your firm to initiate an account with a school location and meet all ordering deadlines so that all items and services are provided by the needed dates. 3. Discuss the role of your firm’s sales team in advising staff and students regarding available products and services, and the deadlines for placing orders. 4. Please discuss online resources (catalog, website, etc.) for providing product and service information, and for placing orders. Please provide links to any ordering platform or catalog resource. 5. Please discuss payment options or models that would be available to the District and its students. What deposit amounts, if any, are required, and what payment installment plans, if any, are available? 6. Please discuss your firm’s ability to provide continuity of sales support. For example, what is the average number of years a sales representative from your firm typically services an account? How promptly would a new sales representative be introduced should a replacement need to occur, and what level of experience (in terms of years of service) would your sales representative typically have for an account of the District’s size? 7.
