Maintenance Procedures and Recycling Timeline

For this technology initiative, all of the hardware for use will be brand new. I do not for see any type of hardware upgrade for at least 5 years due to all hardware will be under warranty for a minimum of 2 years and if there is a problem in that time it will be corrected or replaced in full for the component that does fail. With the latest in computers, Smartboards, and projection units, there should not be a lot of problems for a while. As with most electronics, they do tend to fail over time but if you can get through the first few years without a lot of problems and defects, you can usually make it 5 to 7 years without too many problems.

Software:

The software for the Interactive Auto repair program is in constant upgrade depending on vehicles produced and new repair methods that can be processes with this type of interaction. When you pay the annual licensing fee, it covers all upgrades and defects that may come with the program. A technician can be provided to the district at no cost if a software defect causes system failure. The technician will work with the district technology technicians to come up with a solution for repair.

Replacement:

Replacement cost will be projected in a 3 to 5 year rotation of new technology or replacement technology that is required for the automotive shop. The projection is in place if needed, but can be bypassed for another piece of equipment if needed. There is nothing stating that any technology must be replaced at a given time, but if it is projected properly it can be budgeted for in case it does require replacement.

**Warranty**:

Warranty will cover anything that is not damaged due to mishandling or deliberate acts of mischief.

Maintenance will be to take care of computers and Smartboards and keep clean using proper cleaners and do not place direct liquids on either piece of hardware. Evaluation and Modification Strategies
