EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

If approved, school and district sites will utilize this contract to purchase floor care products including cleaner, stripper, and wax.  The products will be used in both this school year 2015/2016, and 2016/2017. School and district sites use summers and break times to strip, clean, and wax the floors.

After Board approval on May 10, 2016, schools will place orders throughout the summer. Because the product is ordered and kept at each individual site, it is purchased as needed and not inventoried. The SBPC contract is awarded through November 25, 2016. 

In accordance with the 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.

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
Funds in the amount of $204,000.00 will be available in individual school and departmental custodial budgets. There is no specific project number assigned for these purchases. If funds are needed that will exceed the amount remaining prior to June 30, 2016, the school or department will transfer funds from other accounts that are tracking under budget or delay purchases until the next fiscal year.
