Approval Of Vendor Award For Purchases Which Cost $1,000,000 Or More

body

 

The purpose of this item is to authorize vendor awards for purchases which cost $1,000,000 or more. Pursuant to School Board policy, contracts for purchases which cost $1,000,000 or more are submitted to the Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board for approval before purchase orders and/or agreement letters are issued. The Purchasing Services Department, authorized by board policy, enters into purchase agreements for bid projects less than $1,000,000, subject to ratification by the School Board, and contracts associated with a board-approved cooperative or intergovernmental interlocal agreement.

 

When determining the successful bidder, consideration is given to the quality of the articles supplied, conformity with developed specifications, suitability to the requirements of the educational system, and delivery terms. All advertised bids comply with minority- and woman-owned business enterprise procedures. All contracts are negotiated and executed with the supplier(s) providing the best overall value for the district.

 

The attachment reflects the names of successful bidders and a description of the items to be purchased.
