THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Kingston School District is seeking board approval to use remaining E-rate funds for a full network refresh in the 2024-25 funding year. The project replaces all switches and Wi-Fi access points, installs a new server rack, and runs new fiber and Cat6 cabling, using up to $135,437 in 85%-discounted E-rate support. After competitive bidding through USAC with six vendors, SomethingCool.com was selected as low bidder with a 5-year network subscription totaling $123,917.84 and $18,587.68 district cost. This identifies the incumbent for network infrastructure and creates follow-on needs for support, integration, security, and future renewals.
Board recommendation is to approve SomethingCool.com; ENT previously did positive work with Kingston and could remain a competitor for future IT work.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
