Authority To Negotiate, Execute, And Amend Interlocal Agreements Regarding Printing And Related Services
body
The Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board is asked to grant the superintendent of schools or designee authority to negotiate, execute, and amend interlocal agreements regarding printing and related services.
HISD Printing Services is recognized both locally and nationally as one of the top in-plant printing operations in the country and has earned numerous awards for outstanding craftsmanship and customer service.
The HISD print center is equipped with state-of-the-art digital high-speed black-and-white and color multifunction printers and press equipment that are designed to produce top-quality images quickly and cost-effectively. In addition to printing services, the print center provides an array of finishing options, including perfect (book) binding, wire-and-comb binding, and saddle-stitching.
The center also offers:
* black/white and full-color printing;
* booklet, journal, brochure, and workbook printing;
* large format posters and banners; and
* wall and window graphic design and printing.
The district would like to expand the print center's success by continuing to provide services to other Texas school districts, universities, educational service centers, and other government agencies at an established rate of compensation for its products and services.
Interlocal agreements for these services will provide HISD with additional funding for educational programs and will continue to provide other districts and agencies with access to a host of printing services. Operational costs, including salaries and benefits of printing services staff associated with providing the services, are cost-neutral to the district since all costs to operate this division are offset by revenue received.
