| SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
| Approve the Superintendent's Recommendation to Delegate to the Superintendent the Authority to Make Emergency Purchases of Commodities and Contractual Services Without the Need for Competitive Solicitations | |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| In accordance with Florida Administrative Code, Purchasing Policy 6A-1012(12)(e), District school boards may dispense with requirements for competitive solicitations for the emergency purchase of commodities or contractual services when the superintendent determines in writing that an immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare or other substantial loss to the school district requires emergency action. After the superintendent makes such a written determination, the district school board may proceed with the procurement of commodities or contractual services necessitated by the immediate danger, without requesting competitive solicitations. However, such an emergency purchase shall be made by obtaining pricing information from at least two prospective vendors, which must be retained in the contract file, unless the superintendent determines in writing that the time required to obtain pricing information will increase the immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare or other substantial loss to the school district.<br /><br />This Emergency Declaration makes the finding from Rule 6A-1012 that an immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare or other substantial loss to the school district requires emergency action. Additionally, the Emergency Declaration recommends that the school board delegate to the Superintendent the authority to make the emergency purchase of commodities or contractual services and to comply with School Board Policy 6320. Finally, the declaration provides that emergency purchase may be made so long as the Governor's declaration of emergency is in effect. | |
