Personal Computers

Colorado Mountain College is seeking proposals from qualified Tier 1 microcomputer manufacturers and value-added resellers to establish a contract for the purchase of Microsoft Windows based desktop computers, laptops, workstation computers, and Chromebooks. The college is looking to establish a Microcomputer Acquisition Program that covers all Microsoft Windows workstations, desktops, and laptops located in classrooms, labs, and faculty/staff offices. The program will replace one-fourth to one-fifth of these devices each year with devices being replaced within a 4 to 5-year cycle. • The contract will include the purchase of several hundred computers over its life. • Proposals should include prices for the outright purchase of the systems, and costs for installation and other optional services may be provided separately or included in the purchase price. • Respondents must demonstrate their companies have the necessary background, experience, stability, and capability to successfully plan, implement, and manage a large institutional purchase plan. • All devices must be fully FCC compliant, UL listed, Windows 10 Certified, and E&IT Section 508 compliant. • A minimum of a 4-year, on-site repair warranty is required, and respondents may propose either working with the school to self-maintain workstations, desktops, and portable computers by the school's technical staff or provide onsite repair service for all warrantied equipment.
