Scope – As part of the 2020-2021 E-Rate Cycle, the District decided to include an application for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). These UPS’s will be used in each of the schools and provide an uninterruptible power source for all switches throughout the District. This will prevent switches in the schools from shutting off during a power surge. These uninterruptible power supplies will provide a constant power source and maintain power to the devices during power surges. We have submitted an E-Rate application for the purchase of 150 UPS’s, at a gross cost of $146,850.00, and are awaiting approval. The discount rate on these UPS’s is 85%, $124,822.50, leaving the District responsible for the remaining 15%, $22,027.50
Funding: TBD (Pending 2020-2021 Non-CIP Capital)
Resolution: RESOLUTION:
WHEREAS the District is seeking to procure 150 uninterruptible power supplies for use throughout the District, and,

WHEREAS these UPS’s will be installed throughout the District in all of the wiring closets in each school. They will provide protection to the District’s infrastructure equipment in the event of a power surge, or brown out. These uninterruptible power supplies will provide a constant power source and maintain power to the devices during power surges. The equipment will remain up and running and revert to normal power operation once restored, and,
WHEREAS the District has filed the necessary forms with the Federal E-Rate program which provides us with an 85% discount on the project’s total overall cost. The project’s gross total is $146,850.00, for 150 uninterruptible power supplies, of which the District’s 15% share will total $22,027.50. The remaining 85%, $124,822.50, will be paid for by the E-Rate program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Yonkers Public Schools issue a purchase order to CDW/G (Sourcewell 081419-CDW) in the amount of $22,027.50, the District’s 15% share of the total, for the purchase of the 150 uninterruptible power supplies.
