Trish, I do not have an RFP but have a couple of vendors to whom you should send it - Knight Technology Group is our outside network engineering firm and, though a small company, Ken and his assistants are excellent and extremely well qualified, install lots and lots of servers and networks so they know the latest and newest info and requirements - have been virtualizing our system gradually over the last year and are almost done. We didn't do an RFP because we work with them regularly so just engaged them to do this extra work for us. ( I think they work with Christine Hage also) Ken Rutyna Knight Technology Group http://www.ktg-corp.com/ They are based in Royal Oak but can work anywhere up and down I-75 easily. FPL has worked with them for 10+ years. Another great tech company - if anything happened to Knight, I'd be working with them - they already do our Erate and have done for 5+ years: John Foster Convergent Technology Partners http://www.ctpartners.net/ Based in Flint Kay ------------------------------------------------------------------ Kay Schwartz Director Flint Public Library, 1026 E.
