 Ian, 
 
As 
mentioned in my last email, Arcadia will be using the new Spyrus readers for the 
upcoming April election.  Does it require the latest and greatest ballot 
station software?   If it does, we need to upgrade.  If it 
doesn't, we can keep the 3.13.5.1 software.  I don't mean to stir up 
confusion but I have to be sure.  
  
Dimtry,  Frank: 
Didn't 
you mentioned something about this? 
  
  I 
  believe that the 3.13.5 that is on the FTP site is 3.13.5.1.  But you 
  will have to download it to make sure. 
  
    
    I 
    need some clarification.  There is no 3-13-5-1 ballot station software 
    listed at the ftp site.  I hope Steve made a typo when he requested 
    3-15-1.  It isn't there.   
    Please let me know ASAP.

      Given that all 100 units will be swapped out after the 
      Oakland election, the 3.15.1 version, per Jeff Hintz/Sophias request, is 
      fine for the Oakland election and the 50 new units being shipped 
      in.

        This week.  We have to ship these units on 
        the 14th to have them arrive by the 21st.  The Rockies still turn a 
        three business day shipment into a five business 
day.

          Ian, when do you need to know about the software 
          version to load?

            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
