On September 11, 2012, the Hillsborough County School Board, in accordance with Florida Statute 1001.42, approved the Bay Area Schools Purchasing Consortium (BASPC) Interlocal Agreement. This statute states, “Each district school board shall enter into an interlocal agreement as provided in s.163.01 for the purpose of establishing the School District Consortium and maximizing the purchasing power for goods and services.”

This recommendation has been reviewed by our General Manager, Transportation Department. The term of this contract with SDLC is for a one-year period beginning January 28, 2014, with two additional one-year renewals. This contract may be renewed by the Superintendent, per the terms of the specifications. In accordance with Florida Department of Education, Purchasing Policy 6A-1.012(6), in lieu of requesting competitive solicitations from three or more sources, district school boards may make purchases at or below the specified prices from contracts awarded by other city or county governmental agencies, or other district school boards. |
