Questions and Answers

Q 1.  On Attachment “A” line item 24 you ask for P/N S1BLVM which you describe as an “Bladecenter/Vmware Smooth Start/Skills Transfer”. I have cheeked with my IBM technician and we cannot find this part number by IBM! Can you please let us know if this is an IBM part number and it is what does it entail?

A 1.  The correct part number for line item number 24 is Part # 9999.

Q 2.  On the same attachment you ask us in the notes to include training and installation in our quote. Can you please describe what you require for installation and training? For example where will the equipment be installed and how many technicians would be attending this training?

A 2.  The smooth start pricing should reflect one week of onsite installation, configuration and training for ITSD staff. Item F (training costs), under notes, should be reflected in item 24 pricing. The data center is located at 1020 S. 10th Street, Fresno, CA 93702 and the number of technicians is one (1).
