Student Tracking (Option)
Student ridership monitoring with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been
touted as the technology of choice for pupil transportation, Due to our extensive
research and practical experience the system offered by Synovia is a "Short range"
system (High freqLjency 13.56 MH7_) RFID reader that requires the students to
physically present their card to the reader (within 3 inches), The approach provides as
close to total accuracy as possible. This approach eliminates the non -rider reads that
are inherent in the "Long Range" systems that seem to be., unable to differentiate
Students near the bus or already in the bus from those loading or unloading. Practical
experiences from users of the system report virtually no impact on load times. The
reader also offers both a visual and audio confirmation of a successful scan.
Student Monitor Software
Synovia offers a live monitor that will report on the student ridership status by school or
by itinerary,, It displays data for the current day only. The User can do a quick search by
school name (all routes for the school at current TOD) or by itinerary name and the
results will contain today's status. The monitor will display the following information:
• student name
• status
Synovi,a SOlUtions, LLC 30 Safety, Savings and Service

* planned scan -on time
0 actual scan -on time
, planned scan -off time
0 actual scan -off time
0 planned stop

The Ridership Monitor will color -code the following statuses in the list:
• Missed scan-on/scan-off (red)
• Extra scan-on/scan-off (yellow) —(Driver Scan)
• Wrong Stop scan-on/scan-off (orange)
• Wrong vehicle scan-on/scan-off (blue)
The user can quickly filter for the following exception statuses from the Ridership
Monitor based upon what is highlighted in the screen.

ATTACHMENTK-1
The relevant chapter of the Indiana Code addressing Indiana's preferences in the letting
of public contracts to business entities whose principal places of business are in Indiana is found
at Indiana Code § 5-22-M The chapter applies to (1) purchases of supplies -under Article 22 by
a govern -mental body, a state educational institute, ,in instrumentality of the state that performs
essential governmerit functions on a statewide or local basis, and the state lottery commission,
and (2) purchases made under § 5-17-1 (Purchases of Personal Property by State Agencies),
M
Governaiental bodies may adopt rules giving preference to Indiana businesses that submit
an offer for purchase -under Article 22 if (1) an out-of-state business also submits an offer for the
purchase and (2) the out-of-state business is frown a state that gives purchase preferences
unfavorable to Indiana businesses. § 5-22-15-20(c), These rules cannot give a preference to
Indiana businesses that is more favorable than the other states preference is to the other state's
business. § 5-22-15-20(e).
Part of Indiana's program is the Buy Indiana preference, which lowers an Indiana
business's bid price by a pre -determined amount based upon the site of the State's purchase. The
.statute provides the definition of an "Indiana business" for purposes of this preference. § 5-22-
15-20.5(b). Specifically, the statute provides a preference for supplies purchased from an Indiana
business of 1% on purchases of $1 million or greater, 3% on purchases of at least $500,000 but
less than $1 million; and 5% on purchases of less than $500,000, § 5-22-15-20.5(d).
The sanic statute also provides an additional preference that is available to an Indiana
business if (1) that business offers to provide supplies manufactured, assembled, or produced in
Indiana; and (2) two or more submitted bids were the same. § 5-22-15-20.5(e), It provides a
preference of 1% on purchases of $1 million or greater; 2% on purchases of at least $500,000 but
less than $1 million; and 3% an purchases of -'less than $500,000, § 5-22-15-20.5(c). If a business
wants to claim these preferences, it must follow all the guidelines in § 5-2215-20.5(f).
The Chapter also provides a price preference for supplies purchased from local
businesses. § 5-22-1.5-20.9. The statute provides the defixiition of a"local Indiana business" and
"affected county" for purpose of this preference. § 5-22-15-20,9(b) and (o). Specifically, the
statute provides a preference for supplies purchased -from a local Indiana business of 1% on
purchases of $100,000 or greater; 3% on purchases of at least $50,000 but Less than $100,00; and
5% on purchases of less than $50,000, § 5-22-15-290.9(d). If a business wants to claim this
preference, it must follow all the guidelines in § 5-22-15-20.9(f).
Lastly, there is also a price, preference for supplies to Indiana small businesses, A
governmental body shall give a 15% preference for supplies to an Indiana -small busixiess that
submits an offer -for purchase tinder Article 22. § 5-22-15�23 (a). A "small business" is a business
is defined in § 5.22-14-1n
There ate, other Indiana-basod preferences noted in this Chapter as well. For example, an
absolutepreference is given to coal ruined in Indiana, § 5-22-15-22. Also, a governmental entity
may give up to a 10% preference for agricultural products grown, produced, or processed in
Indiana, § 5-22-15-215,
'We have not conducted extensive analysis on. all laws and regulations that may provide
some additional proBerence to Indiana based. companies, Accordingly, there may be other laws,
regulations, Executive Orders, or other authorities that grant some preference to Indiana -based
companies.

ATTACHMENT D- GREEN PROCUREMENT - ELECTRONIC PURCHASE ORDER PROMS
The School Board. of St. Lucie County has implemented an Electronic Purchase Order (E -PO) delivery system to
strearnfine our procurement process and eliminate a paper -driven process. In order to expedite delivery of
purchase orders, we ask that you provide our office with a designated email address. The email address you
provide should have the capability of being monitored by more than one person within your company. This will
ensure that orders received electronically are not delayed. By us sending purchase orders out electronically, we,
can more effectively control our procurement activities and achieve a significant cost savings over the paper
purchase order process. The electronic purchase order process also reduces the purchase order to vendor cycle
time from days to hours. We encourage your acceptance of electronic purchase orders, Please provide a designated
email address below to participate in the electronic purchase order process. Our system can only accommodate
one ernail address.
