EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On December 18, 2013, the Board approved the funding for the lease of twenty-two automobiles to be used in phase one of the district's safety and security plan to place Community School Officers with vehicles at selected elementary schools throughout the district.  On April 24, 2014, the Procurement Department, in conjunction with the Manager of Security Services Department, issued an ITB to lease the 22 automobiles. 

The monthly lease rates will include all maintenance and mileage charges for regularly scheduled services.  The initial term of the contract is for a one-year period with four one-year renewals.  All prices offered are firm against any increase for at least one year from the effective date.
