The service request above lists a minimum and maximum capacity that is different from that listed in the RFP. This is due to the limited dropdown options in EPC. The values listed in the RFP and this narrative reflect the applicant's needs. Please provide laddered pricing in all bids and contracts. ___________________________________________________ Questions No informational meetings or building visits will be scheduled. Any questions related to the technical aspects of this document should be directed to William Milner, Technology Director at Email: [email protected], no later than 2 PM Eastern time on November 18, 2026. Answers to any written questions or any additional information, revisions, or clarifications to the RFP will be provided on the CCS website: http://www.clay.k12.in.us/rfp.

The Board of School Trustees or their designee will, in the exercise of their sole discretion, determine which proposal(s) offer the best means of servicing the interests of the School Corporation. The exercise of this discretion will be final. State or local procurement rules: We will consider multi-year contracts with or without voluntary extensions.
