LOCAL PURCHASING
While purchases by the Board shall be made in accordance with statutory provisions and bid requirements, the East Feliciana Parish School Board directs the Superintendent and staff to purchase materials and supplies, whenever possible, from local vendors situated in the Parish of East Feliciana if the price offered is not significantly out of line with that of vendors located outside of East Feliciana Parish.
In order to facilitate the purchase of materials and supplies from local vendors, the following steps shall be taken:
|
1. |
Determine from State Central Purchasing if there is a competitively bid state contract for the needed material or supply and obtain the State Contract Number and the specification for the item on state contract.
|
|
2. |
Contact a local vendor for the item to determine if the vendor can provide the item meeting the exact same specification as the state contract item and obtain a written price quote for delivery of the item to the School Board. Local Vendor is interpreted to mean a vendor situated within the Parish boundaries of the School Board.
|
|
3. |
If the delivered price offered by the local vendor is within the percentages set forth in state statutes for contracts of various values, a purchase order may be issued by the School Board to the local vendor, reflecting the state contract number, state contract specification, state contract price and the markup allowed to the local vendor for shipping, preparation and delivery of the item(s).
|
|
4. |
A copy of the School Board's purchase order shall be furnished to the State Central Purchasing Office for monitoring compliance with the provisions of La. Rev. Stat. Ann. §39:1710. |
