SUBJECT: Law School Classroom Technology Enhancement Project

Description:

The School of Law is requesting approval to purchase electronic and multi-media equipment for installation in Law School classrooms.

Due to advances in technology and the increased use of computers in legal education, the Washburn University Law School plans to enhance the technology capabilities in all Law School classrooms. Enhancements will include the following rooms: 100, 102, 114, 119, 120, and 150.

The intent of the enhancement is to make classrooms suitable for multi-media presentations during class. To accomplish this, each classroom requires brighter data projectors than those currently installed as well as other modifications requiring related audio, video, and data equipment.

Request for quotations were received from the following vendors:

Vendor Total Amount

Smith Audio Visual, Inc. $73,915.00

Cytek Media Systems $98,352.00

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

Funding will be available from the Law School general fund for furnishings and equipment.

RECOMMENDATION:

President Farley recommends approval to award a contract to Smith Audio Visual, Inc. for $73,915.00.
