Executive Summary
The Director of Technology and Information Services, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board approve the renewal of the piggyback of Florida Buy State Cooperative Purchasing, Contract No. 24-135: Audio Visual Integration, awarded to Audio Enhancement and authorizes spending for an estimated annual amount of $55,000.
Purchases from Audio Enhancement include replacement parts and classroom amplification systems and installations for instructional use in classrooms and other areas. Purchases will only be made based upon need and demand and the sum of $55,000.00 is only an estimate. This will also allow the district to purchase replacement parts and components for Audio Enhancement classroom systems currently located throughout the district and to maintain these systems in working order as batteries and other components fail due to age and wear and tear, as well as install new systems as needed in classrooms and other areas for instructional enhancement to prevent disruptions to instruction.
This agenda also is requesting that purchases can begin following this approval under the current active contract. HCSB Bid No. 26-880-19 PB has been assigned for internal tracking purposes.

Financial Impact
See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
