RE: Alameda (Oakland election April 17)

The equipment hadn't shipped yet. The new Blue and White units are still in production. No Ballot Station software has been loaded onto the Master Hard Drive. (It changes too fast to keep up with it). If you want 3.13.5.1 loaded, please have the project manager(s) confirm this via email.

My suggestion is that you try to maintain the same version of Ballot Station Software across all the units.

Has this equipment been shipped yet??? The reason I ask, I was wondering if we should put on the same AVTS version that we currently have in Oakland & LA, which is 3.13.5.1. Since we will be using a combination of the new units along with the units that they already have, and also using units from Oakland as backup for LA. Suggestions???

Ian,

I just faxed the work order for the Oakland election for Alameda.

50 AVTS units (I guess the blue and white - no modems necessary)

30 Spyrus cards (I will need 10 shipped ASAP for the PIEDMONT election)

250 Smart cards (that work with the Spyrus - I'll need 50 of the Smartcards by Feb.12 for Piedmont)

       these will need the Alameda Logo - Perhaps you can add some Identifier on the logo to distinguish

        these cards from the other 250 cards.

I attached a spread sheet to show the amount we are billing for the Oakland election $196,700 with 50% to be billed on delivery and 50% billed on certification of the April 17 election. By then we'll know about the next 900 units for the UDEL in November. Please keep me informed about smart cards and spyrus issues as Jeff Hintz will be heading to Alameda on Jan. 23 for Logic and Accuracy testing and will, I'm sure, be asked about how they are creating cards in the precincts.

Thanks
