Is the installation of computer hardware purchased from state contracts included in the purchase price? If not, is it acceptable to use the contract vendor to install the equipment?
The majority of our BN PC contracts include a line for installation at an hourly rate. Installation is limited to the initial set-up and initial diagnostics of microcomputers and peripherals purchased from the contract. Installation is to be used only at the time of the purchase of the component(s) from the state contract. Installation is not to be used for configuration or reconfiguration of network equipment, installation or rearrangement of in-building or outside wiring/cabling nor any other fashion. If installation falls outside this definition, it must be procured in accordance with the Small Purchases Executive Order and the Purchasing Rules and Regulations.
