QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Terms & Conditions in this RFP?
A. The School District, when procuring copiers through a GPO, shall adhere to the GPO’s Terms and
Conditions in conjunction with those set forth in the RFP.
3. RFP refers to the removal of old equipment as part of the RFP. Can you confirm if this is correct
and that the current vendor will not be removing?
A. This is incorrect. The current vendor is responsible for removing our existing copiers. For reference,
please see Addendum #1, available on our district’s website under the Purchasing Department’s
Bids and RFPs section.
4. How is the school district managing secure printing with codes today?
A. We currently are not using secure print; however, we are interested in the option to use it in select
departments using codes.
5. Does the school district require an on-premises or cloud-based solution?
A. We prefer a cloud-based solution but will consider all options on this RFP.
6. How is the School District deploying print drivers today?
A. We have a local print server that our IT uses to push drivers.
7. What type of workstations are users printing from (i.e Windows, Mac, Chromebook)?
A. We use and print from Windows devices.
8. How are users managed today ( i.e. Active Directory, EntraID, Google Directory Services, etc.)?
A. Users are currently managed through uniFLOW which used LDAP to sync users.
9. Is the School District currently billing back usage to departments or sites?
A. Invoices are itemized per site and sites are charged based on the number of devices and their
printing usage.
10. Can you confirm the quantity of staples used in the last 5 years?
A. We do not have this data available.
11. Can you confirm the quantity of 11x17 or larger usage over the last 5 years?
A. We do not have this data available as most of our current equipment does not have this capability.
12. Can you provide a full list of existing equipment (model, number of paper trays, if the asset has a staple
finisher, usage per device)?
A.
Most of the equipment above has 4 trays of paper, with stapling capabilities.
13. What does the district consider a high-capacity paper tray (qty of paper included)?
A. A high-capacity paper tray should hold at least 1500 sheets, with a high-capacity copier holding a
minimum of 3000 sheets.
14. What are the current days of the week, and hours per day of the onsite employee?
A. Most onsite employees work 8-hour shifts, Monday–Friday, with coverage from 6 AM–6 PM.
15. What are the current responsibilities of the onsite employee?
A. Information of responsibilities available online at
https://www.schooljobs.com/careers/oxnard/classspecs
16. How do you currently track the hours of the onsite employee?
A. Hours are not tracked for printing/copying purposes. District wide they are tracked through paper
timecards.
17. Can you provide additional detail about the below requirement? Is this something the Onsite
technician does as part of your solution today? If using standard Dept ID codes through Canon, this is a
1:1 relationship with the code and the copier itself and is a manual process to update codes per asset.
How many code changes are expected during the life of the contract?
A. The initial loading of codes should be conducted collaboratively by the selected vendor and our
onsite IT and Purchasing technicians. Currently, codes are assigned on a per-user basis, and we
have 2,935 employees. We request a formal assurance that, if required, all codes can be removed
from our devices within 72 hours. If a device retains a history of codes in its storage, we require
confirmation that the device can be fully cleared of all codes upon our request.
18. What is the solution currently installed for secure print and follow me print? Is it on-prem or cloud-
based?
A. We currently are not using secure print or follow me printing; however, we are interested in the
option to use it in select departments using codes.
19. Are you interested in a Cloud-based solution for this RFP? If so, will all of the devices have reliable
access to the Internet?
A. All devices will have reliable access to the internet. We prefer a cloud-based solution but will
consider all options on this RFP.
20. Do you use Microsoft 365 / Local AD / LDAP / ENTRA ID?
A. Our district currently uses all 4 (M365, AD, LDAP, EntraID), with our copier management software
using LDAP.
21. This RFP is for staff used devices only, no students, correct?
A. This RFP is for staff used devices only.
22. Is there a print shop and is it part of this bid?
A. We do have a print shop; however, it is not part of this RFP.
23. District has 27 different locations, what is the expectation for the dedicated on-site tech?
A. Our expectation of a dedicated on-site technician is that when service issues arise or a machine
requires attention, a technician will be available to come on-site in person to assess and address
the issue.
24. Under various piggyback able contracts, the current incumbent is responsible for the removal of their
equipment free of charge. Are you currently under a GPO like OMNIA or NASPO?

about removing the current equipment were clarified in Addendum #1, which is available on the
district website.
