I am
not sure who is the project manager for Alameda, but I do know that Sofia is the
project manager for LA. Sofia please give your input. I am in
agreement with Ian, we should keep all Ballot Station Sofware the same across
all the units. When I was out in Oakland, the units that I did work on had
version 3.13.5.1, I am assuming that all are that way, I am not sure what
LA has. Do we want to keep those units with this version, as well as, send
out the new units with this version; or do we want to send out the new units
with the latest version and then upgrade the units in the
field???

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.
Ian
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
