EXCEPTION # RFP SECTION NUMBER

RFP PAGE NUMBER

EXCEPTION (Complete detail regarding exceptions must be

identified) 1 Definitions 12 of 86 Fair Market Value Lease - The depreciated value

3 2.1 Acronyms / Definitions “Power Protection”

15 of 86 HP believes it is able to meet the majority of these requirements, but is still working to provide a complete response for its Group A devices. For now, HP can respond to the following: - Fax/Modem Protection: FCC Registration

HP will provide WSCA with complete answers as soon as they are available.

4 3.4.5.5 Device Configurations (for Group F)

28 of 86 HP does not test density range on its Scanjet devices (Group F). HP recommends customers test its devices to verify image quality, in terms of dynamic range, is acceptable.


28 of 86 HP does not test density range on its Scanjet devices (Group F). Depending on how this spec is tested, it can be adjusted to be almost meaningless, therefore HP recommends customers test its devices to verify image quality, in terms of dynamic range, is acceptable.

6 3.5.12.1 Timeliness of Service

33 of 86 HP Designjets (Group C) does not offer 4-hour response time for service, and will be responding with Next-Business-Day (NBD) response as an alternative.

8 3.7.3.1 Technology Requirements – Authentication and Access

34 of 86 HP’s proposed Large Format MFP’s (Group C – Models T2500 and T3500) do not support LDAP authentication; the files scanned on large format devices are generally so large, they are not recommended for transport over email, so this feature is not included.

9 3.7.2.2 Technology Requirements – Software Drivers

34 of 86 HP’s proposed devices in Group F (Scanners) do not support a universal driver, though the HP TWAIN driver is the same or very similar across devices.

10 3.7.4.5 Technology Requirements – Security

35 of 86 HP’s S900-series (Group A) can be configured to overwrite completed jobs any number between 1-7 times. However, it is not capable of scheduling a weekly overwrite; it can only be run at the end of each job.

11 Leasing Programs 5.4.

42 of 86 HP Financial services takes exception to this section. The lease rate factors provided in this response will be indexed to the 2yr daily treasury yields. Rates will be fixed on a quarterly basis and each subsequent quarter will be adjusted based on the changes in the 2yr treasury yield. On the annual anniversary date of the contract base lease rates will be reset predicated upon current market conditions and remarketing value of the equipment.

4 WSCA-NASPO Administrative Fee; 1.9

Pg. 7 of 86 HP Financial Services wishes to clarify that no administrative fees will be assessed and remitted by HP Financial Services. Only our parent organization HP will assess and pay the administrative fees required.

5 5.4 Leasing Programs

Pg. 41 of 86 HP Financial Services wishes to add an alternative leasing program. The program is known as a tax exempt installment sale lease and is only available to 103A entities as defined by the Internal Revenue Service Code. In a Tax-exempt Installment Sale structure, payments consist of both principal and interest, with the interest being excludable from the Lessor’s gross income for Federal income tax purposes. During the term of the Lease the Concluding Payment – primarily consisting of unpaid principal would decline as each Lease Payment was made and applied. Under this structure Title typically passes to the Lessee at the Lease Acceptance and the Lessor would file a security interest in the equipment. Once the original base Lease Payments are made the Lessee owns the equipment free and clear. This option has been provided as an additional column in the pricing matrix and the standard lease documents to be used for this additional option have also been attached by HP Financial Services.


Pg 41 of 86 Under the pricing options provided by HP Financial Services all lease and finance offerings are predicated upon credit review and the usage of the terms and conditions under lease and finance offered by HP Financial Services. Draft documents have been provided along with this proposal. Additionally, any customer entering into a lease agreement with HP Financial Services agrees that should a dispute arise the mutually agreed upon and executed lease documentation will be first in order of precedence.


Pg. 41 of 87 HP Financial Services wishes to clarify the following pricing included under the fair market value lease option: The lease rate factor for the fair market value lease option is inclusive of the cost for return to Lessor. All pricing is based on the assumption that origin will have a loading dock that is accessible to a full size tractor trailer and that all equipment will be de-installed and consolidated to a centralized location on the first floor at or near the loading dock (within 100 ft.). Carriers will not perform any de-installation. We will require a 5 business day lead time for pickup. Pickup must occur during normal business hours M-F. Pricing excludes HI and AK (Customer’s in HI and AK please contact HP Financial Services directly if you require return shipping). If COI required please inform at time of request and not the pickup day. If Union Labor is required this quote is null-and-void. All ink/toner cartridges must be removed from the printers and placed in a sealed (zip lock style) plastic bag prior to shipping (cartridges may be shipped with the printers

be identified) but must not remain installed for transit as it may cause damage to the unit). The carrier is not responsible for removal of or verification of removal of cartridges and any damage caused due to the failure to remove cartridges will be the responsibility of the origin customer. If pickup details differ from these assumptions extra fees may apply. Lease rates under the fair market value program and capital lease structure also include any personal property taxes. Sales and Usage taxes may be waived when the customer sends an approved tax and usage sales tax exempt certificate to HP Financial Services.

8 2.1 Acronyms / Definitions “Power Protection”

HP assumes that this section applies only to Group A and B devices, of which HP is only proposing devices for Group A.

9 3.1 Segments HP does not manufacture Production Copiers (Group B) or Digital Duplicators (Group E), so it will not be responding to these sections.

10 3.4.1.3 Device Configurations (for Group A)

All proposed devices will maintain scan speeds, once initially achieved, throughout the scan job. Scan speeds may vary based on paper type, software and driver interaction, but can be maintained once maximum speeds for that particular job are reached.

11 3.4.2.9 Device Configurations (for Group C)

All proposed HP devices utilize the print driver/spooler function of the OS on each client device (PC) for sending the job to the Designjet (which handles the processing and editing), therefore a separate WES7 controller is not required for HP’s proposed devices.


All proposed devices will maintain scan speeds, once initially achieved, throughout the scan job. Scan speeds may vary based on paper type, software and driver interaction, but can be maintained once maximum speeds for that particular job are reached.
