AGENDA - October 19, 2017

4.0			CONSOLIDATED MOTION FOR CONSENT CALENDAR BUSINESS & FISCAL MANAGEMENT
			4.7 Award Bid for the Coronado Unified School District to Purchase Cisco Products & Cisco Branded Services Utilizing the Piggyback Bid Process. (Action)

Background Information:

Public Contract Code Section 20118 authorizes school districts and other public agencies to “piggyback” from contracts publicly bid by other agencies, provided the originating agency’s bid documents contain a piggyback option. This allows purchasing equipment, material or supplies from said vendor utilizing the same terms and conditions that are available to the public agency under the contract.

The California Department of General Services CMAS, in compliance with Public Code 20118, has contracted with Vector Resources, Inc. as the awarded vendor on Contract Number 3-11-70-0876AG. An amendment extends this contract through December 31, 2018. The aforementioned contract has included a “Piggybacking” clause, allowing school districts to piggyback for items listed on the contract.

Financial Impact:
This contract allows CUSD to utilize a competitively bid contract to purchase Cisco products and services at the lowest cost without incurring the costs associated with the bid process.

Superintendent's Recommendation:

That the Board award the bid for the Coronado Unified School District to purchase Cisco products & services utilizing the Piggyback Bid Process from Vector Resources, Inc. and authorize Administration to sign all related documents.
