spread and poor adherence to the bid documents? <br /> Mike Kirwin said a wide spread if fairly normal in a technology <br /> environment. Some unqualified firms enter bids . Non compliance, <br /> some people don't understand a more complex requirement in <br /> telecommunications . <br /> He added because this is a public bid, anyone can pick it up and <br /> respond. <br /> Paul asked if they have used Win system before? <br /> Bill , from CCR said they have. The City of Cambridge uses it . <br /> Paul asked what their delivery and set up time frame is? <br /> Bill said it is within a 4 week time frame . <br /> Paul asked if we can have full dial tone by late August? <br /> Bill said there will be no difficulty with this vendor. <br /> Peter asked how much we had budgeted for this item? <br /> $75-80 , 000 was budgeted. <br /> ** Paul made a motion to recommend to the Selectmen they <br /> enter into a contract with National Telecommunications, <br /> for the telephone system at the high school , for $54 , 000 . <br /> Peter seconded the motion. All members were in favor 6-0 . <br /> Audio Visual System. <br /> Mike Kirwin stated the internal video distribution system is not <br /> crippled by the recent change order from Griffin Electric . Those <br /> items will enhance the system. <br /> Steve asked to see an itemized breakdown of this bid. <br /> HB Communications was the only firm to respond. They are not a <br /> manufacturer, so they have independence. <br /> Mike Kirwin and Steve Greelish discussed Steve' s concerns about <br /> duplication of the sound system for the . auditorium. <br /> Mr. Kirwin said any duplication is quite limited. Because the <br /> auditorium can also be used as a video studio, there are some <br /> duplications -microphones, headphone intercom systems . It will <br /> be useful and justifiable for when two things are going on <br /> simultaneously. <br /> Steve said the auditorium is wired for audio output and <br /> questioned why there are additional amps on top of that sound <br /> system - there is a portable speaker system? <br /> CCR said the sound system in the auditorium serves the audience , <br /> not the stage area. This will be used for the stage area, for <br /> playback. <br /> Because HB did not look at the electrical drawings before <br /> submitting their bid, there is a $105 , 000 item that is not <br /> needed. <br /> Steve asked if we can accept the bid on a line item basis? <br /> Mike Kirwin said the process is to accept the bid and then cut it <br /> during the contract process . <br /> Steve sees a fair amount of room for work on a few line items <br /> 3 <br />
