Title
APPROVAL TO PURCHASE MATERIALS AND/OR SERVICES FROM VENDORS UNDER COOPERATIVE CONTRACT WITH A LEAD AGENCY THAT UTILIZED A COMPETITIVE PROCESS FOR ENERGY CONSULTING AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Description

The Purchasing Department has researched and reviewed the competitive solicitations that are available for these purchases and has determined that the use of the attached contracts for the purpose cited presents the best value and/or is in the best interest of the School Board.



Gap Analysis

The District requires providers of Natural Gas for kitchens, science labs, and locker rooms at various district sites and school locations.



Previous Outcomes 

The District has previously purchased Natural Gas from Gas South under a State of Florida agreement.



Expected Outcomes 

Upon approval we require the vendor to provide the necessary services according to the term and conditions listed in the ITB.

  • TFS Energy Solutions, LLC, dba Tradition Energy, was the lowest Natural Gas supplier at time of price lock-in.


Strategic Plan Goal

Recommendation

That the cooperative contracts awarded to Tradition Energy for the anticipated purchase of materials and/or services be approved as presented.
