The Meramec Valley School District will renew its lease for 39 copy machines throughout the district. District officials say they run off about 9 million copies a year.
The district pays a per-copy cost for the use of the equipment.
The total annual copier budget, equipment and service, for the district is $112,000.
In the past, the district has split the bid between two major copy machine suppliers — Dacom and Ricoh.
“The practice of splitting the bid between the two companies has worked well for us,” said Superintendent Randy George. “We’re recommended that we continue that practice.”
The school board approved awarding the contract to Dacom and Ricoh for four additional one-year periods, based on performance.
The action was taken at the April 16 school board meeting.
