SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Piggyback of Bid #11-0014-MR: Bleacher, Park and Playground Equipment  between Apollo Sunguard and Manatee County School District for the Purchase and Installation of Sunshades
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

To satisfy anticipated requirements for sunshades, staff proposes to piggyback Manatee County School District bid #11-0014-MR with Apollo Sunguard for the purchase of sunshades through expiration of the agreement on August 23, 2013.

Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) rule 6A-1.012 allows purchases from contracts awarded by other government agencies, district school boards, Department of Management Services (DMS), etc., at or below specified prices.

The Manatee bid pricing (attached) includes a 5% discount off list prices for the sunshades. Apollo Sunshade has offered Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) an additional 20% discount off list, for a total discount of 25% (attached).  Apollo Sunshade has consistently provided excellent service while fulfilling previous requirements.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Demonstrate best financial practices • Construct and maintain facilities that create an environment conducive to teaching and learning
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)

Expenditures for sunshade purchases were $293,220 for FY 2011 - 2012. Sunshades are typically funded by a combination of donated, school and District matching funds.

EVALUATION

Evaluation of each installation is accomplished jointly by the District's project coordinator and code inspector.
