A tabulation is attached. Durham Technical Community College (DTCC) of Durham, North Carolina provided the lowest responsible proposal at a cost of $756 for a class size of 12 and $63 per day of individual employee training at the vendor's facility. Durham Tech will conduct all training at the Orange County Skills Development Center and each student will receive a copy of Anderson Soft-Teach Training manual that includes a tutorial on diskette for the student to keep.

Up to $15,000 is included in FY 1999-2000 budget for employee computer training. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board authorize the Manager to award the contract to DTCC of Durham, North Carolina in the amount of no more than $63.00 per student and authorize the Manager to sign a contract pending staff and attorney approval with DTCC.
