Requested Action
Adopt the revisions to School Board Policy 3320: Purchasing Policies at this final reading.
Summary
The Florida Legislature has recently enacted changes to Section 287, Florida Statutes, regarding public purchasing. As a result, the attached version of School Board Policy 3320 has been revised to comply with the revised authorizing statutes. Additionally, a section has been added authorizing the district to take advantage of the Direct Purchase Program for construction projects in accordance with State of Florida requirements. The Direct Purchase Program allows the District to save the cost of sales tax that contractors must pay to their suppliers by having the District make the building material purchases directly from the supplier and avoiding the sales tax. As stated in the attached matrix of changes, several other changes have been made either at the request of the School Board Attorney_s Office or to clarify previous portions of the policy.
A detailed matrix of changes is attached.
