    I guess IT National and Kosrae IT best know the vendors, specifications, and price. I don't know what is a reasonable price for these types of computers. Would warranty and mantentance factor into the decision?

    I noticed all 3 quotes are valid for 30 days. Two have dates of April 11 and April 12. I received the email asking us to choose a supplier today, May 18. But it now appears that these quotes are no longer valid. I didn't notice any date on quote submitted by Progressive Computer Services, Inc. And again, I wish someone could tell us the total cost of owning (TOC) these units.

    My vote is for Topher Konsulting Services.

    As the member from the National IT office, I would like to add some insight into the matter of "TOC" and hopefully bring closure to it at the same time.

    The issue with "TOC" at the college deals primarily with buildings for example, as it will cost to run and maintain it over time. With the computer labs, or namely computers, we purchase them with the life expectancy of 5 years maximum per unit. At the same time each lab usually is on a schedule to turn over within a period of 2 years (+/-), or based on need. That amount of time also allows for tech fee per lab to accumulate to cover the cost of each lab at our campuses; which currently runs about $55k per lab.

    So since the life span of computers are set, and that we require warranties from our vendor as well as the manufacture warranties, a schedule for turn over exists because the life expectancy is finite. Thus "TOC" is not required in this sense, or if you will and insist, Tech Fee covers the "TOC".

    Shaun,
    Thanks for clarifying. I am not insisting, I am inquiring. But again, thanks.

    Rafael, Thank you actually for raising the question. I believe you are not the only one who has the concern, but the only one who has voiced it. Our exchange serves to enlighten us all on the topic.

    Thank you.

    I appreciate it, Shaun. Chair Peter, for now I have to plead ignorance and humbly submit my abstention.
