Agenda Item 9.

| | | | | | | | Title
APPROVAL TO INCREASE PURCHASING LIMIT FOR THE ANTICIPATED PURCHASE OF MATERIALS AND/OR SERVICES (PER THE ATTACHED LIST) THROUGH PIGGYBACK CONTRACTING FROM VENDORS UNDER CONTRACT WITH A FEDERAL, STATE OR MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT, OR A COOPERATIVE WITH A LEAD AGENCY THAT UTILIZED A COMPETITIVE PROCESS FOR RENTAL VEHICLES
Description
Piggybacking is the post-award use of a contractual document or process that allows an entity that was not contemplated in the original procurement to purchase the same supplies, equipment or services through that original document or process. The School Board of Sarasota County Policy 7.70 Purchasing and Bidding allows for this process subject to the provisions of law.
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
We use the State Contract to rent vehicles. We are asking for an increase of $150,000 to cover rental vehicles for the 5 comprehensive high schools participating in the vocational rehab supplementary program for Pre-Employment Transition Services. The vehicles are necessary to support transportation needs, access to community-based opportunities related to job skills and post-secondary career employment.
Previous Outcomes
We have used the state contract in the past to rent vehicles as needed throughout the district.
Expected Outcomes
To approve the increase so we can rent the vehicles needed through the cooperative process.
Strategic Plan Goal
Pillar 1 - Every Student Achieves
Priority 4 - Equip Students for Life
Recommendation
That the request to increase the purchasing limit for the anticipated purchase of materials and/or services through piggyback contracting be approved as presented.
