 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.

    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
