Description
Summary Details:
The District’s current fleet of multifunction equipment (print, copy, scan, fax, email, etc.) is primarily owned by the District with many either near or at end of life. District departments are located within multiple office locations throughout the District of Summerland, and to optimize District operations and capacity some offices are home to more than one department (e.g. Municipal Hall), some are one-to-one capacity (e.g. Fire Hall) and others are home to a single department utilizing multiple locations (e.g. Recreation, Utilities, and Works & Infrastructure). In addition, depending upon the functional work at a location, there may be dedicated low volume print devices that will not be considered for a centralized print device (e.g. mechanics printer). Refer to RFP Appendix B – Current Fleet and to Appendix G – Map of District Office Locations.
The District intends to engage a single external service provider to provide the hardware, management, reporting systems and support services to meet the District’s print, copy, scan, fax and email needs in a Managed Print Services or MPS model (“MPS Services”).
The District is interested in an all-in cost solution that is inclusive of hardware, consumables (e.g. toner, print heads), installation, disposal of existing printers, service, and support for its multifunction fleet whereby the District does not own any equipment. Proponents may propose either a cost per copy or leased cost model, refer to Appendix D – Pricing Form.
By partnering with a single MPS provider (“Provider”) the District intends to move to an efficient, sustainable, and managed model.
Further details can be found within the RFP.
