Title
APPROVAL TO PURCHASE MATERIALS OR SERVICES (PER ATTACHED LIST) THROUGH PIGGYBACK CONTRACTING FROM VENDORS UNDER CONTRACT WITH A FEDERAL, STATE OR MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT THAT UNTILIZED A COMPETITIVE PROCESS OR A COOPERATIVE WITH A LEAD AGENCY
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 bidding 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 solicitation that are available for these purchases and has determined that the use of the attached contracts for the purpose cited present the best value and/or is the best interest of the School Board. The funds for these purchases are contained in the budgets allocated to the appropriate department and schools.
Recommendation
That the attached list of contracts for the anticipated purchase of materials and services, using the piggyback contracting process, be approved as presented.
