Proposed Additional Policy Text for 4.29.24


 

All renewals to contracts must be more advantageous to the School than a re-solicitation and agreed upon by both parties - the School and the contractor(s). Renewals require Executive Director approval; renewals for five (5) or more years require Board approval.


 

The School must secure the renewal acceptance (read as a consideration only) in writing via a new contract or extension agreement and submit a new Purchase Order for approval. The School Operations team must research market conditions and trends and review the file before exercising renewal options including the contract period, renewal clause in initial contract, change in market pricing, and whether or not the extension contract cost has different public bid requirements.
