  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
