In 2002, Sonoma County passed the bond Measure A, which provided funds for many infrastructure and technology projects at SRJC. IT, through the recommendations of the Institutional Technology Group (ITG), has used a portion of these funds to purchase new and replacement equipment for the faculty and staff. The ITG has set up a process to request equipment funded by this bond.

Status of Computer Requests

To find the status of recent ITG decisions on desktop technology replacements, choose one of the following:

• Bond request approvals 10/17/2011 (pdf) (Current)
• Bond request approvals 03/17/2011 (pdf)
• Bond request approvals 10/06/2010 (pdf)
• Bond request approvals 05/10/2010 (pdf)

Fill Out the Form Online

• Fill our the Desktop Technology Replacement Form online to request a replacement bond computer - use your SRJC username and password to log in.

Bond Request Process

1. User fills out the Desktop Technology Replacement Form.
2. Once the request is processed and approved (Chair, Dean approval), it moves into a queue that is processed for priority by the ITG.
3. Once it is approved by ITG as a computer/printer, etc. that is most needed for replacement, it takes time to spec, quote, order, manufacturer, and ship.
4. Ordering replacement equipment tends to happen about once every three to four months depending on various circumstances and the budget.
5. Once the equipment is received, it is processed, inventoried, imaged, and placed in a ticketing system for deployment.
6. At that time, the Network Technician who has the ticket will contact the user to set up an appointment for installation.

Reassigned computers go through the last two of the steps above, so although the equipment is on site, it can take some time before it is deployed.

General Approval Checklist

The ITG uses several factors to determine if a replacement computer will be prioritized. These are just a few of the many factors that are used.

• Current system is at least six years old
• Current system is unable to perform the job duties as required
• Departmental environment or teaching methods have changed to warrant different and/or new technology

Prioritized Descriptions

Approved Computers

Approved computers will be ordered, processed, inventoried, and imaged. Therefore, it can still be up to several months before the computers will be available for installation.

Nonprioritized Computers

Nonpriortized will continue to remain in the list to be reviewed in the future. At this time, these systems are not prioritized to receive a replacement. The reason could be attributed to age of the current system, institutional need, job position and responsibilities, lack of information, or other reasons. For more information as to why a system was not prioritized, contact the ITG group by E-mailing Patrick Ekoue-Totou at pekouetotou@santarosa.edu.

Reassigned Computers

For requests where the user has specified a reassigned computer, a ticket will be generated to have a Network Technician assess the current computer and IT's stock of older, but functional, computers to determine if a reassigned computer will be a viable replacement for the current system.

Current Configurations

Visit the IT purchasing page for information about the current configurations IT uses to order for bond replacements. Actual purchases may vary from the posted configurations on the IT purchasing page.

In 2011, due to budget constraints, IT has started to scale back on the configurations that are ordered. For example, until further notice, IT is no longer ordering new monitors. Instead, current flat panel displays attached to users' current systems or reassigned flat panel displays in stock will be used. Additionally, screen sizes and configurations of laptop computers will also be scaled back. Changes to configurations are subject to approval by the Vice President that represents each user's department.
