LCPS staff used and documented a solicitation of responsive and responsible quotes under the Small Procurement Threshold method (for services and contracts under $250,000) as outlined in LCPS' Federal Procurement Policy to identify a vendor to provide security services utilizing Federal Safety grant funds for the 24-25SY.

  M. Approval: ADP Agreement Vote Linda Wu 5 m
     
  N. Approval: Amendment to Federal Procurement Policy Vote Anna Martin 5 m
   

LCPS staff consulted with YMC legal counsel and got legal advice on two small changes to our Federal Procurement policy that would allow LCPS staff to more easily solicit for services and contracts using federal funds while continuing to abide by all legal and regulatory requirements for purchasing using federal funds. Specifically, we have been advised we can shorten the minimum length of public notification for RFPs to 2-weeks (14 days) to still offer a reasonable notice and response time rather than the current 30 days. Additionally, under our piggybacking clause we have been advised that we can remove language requiring prior written approval by the lead entity and vendor in order to piggback. Staff recommends adopting the amended policy to ensure we can most easily comply with federal purchasing requirements.
