Waiver Resolution - Transportation Services.pdf
Summary: District solicited bids for Supplemental Student Transportation Services on two (2) separate occasions in the past five (5) months. District received no responsive bids pursuant to the competitive bidding procedures set forth in Education and Public Contract Codes. District staff has determined that further attempts to secure responsive bids pursuant to Education and Public Contract Codes will result in the same, as the vendor pool for these types of services is limited.

A Resolution is presented waiving further formal bidding requirements for Supplemental Student Transportation Services. Staff is therefore seeking permission to waive further formal bidding procedures through 2017-2018 fiscal year and be given the authority to negotiate short-term agreements for services by invoice and purchase orders on a case by case basis. This waiver will stimulate efficiency and benefit the public by allowing District Staff to select the most qualified entity(ies) that best fits the District needs.
Funding: No impact.
Fiscal Impact None.
Recommendation: Approve Resolution 16/17-36 to Waive Further Formal Bidding Requirements for Supplemental Student Transportation Services.
