BOARD POLICY

School districts must call for bids on construction projects which cost in excel of $30,000.

Whenever a political subdivision or taxing unit of the state of Utah is required by law to receive bids on account of purchases, construction, repairs, or any other purpose requiring the expenditure of funds, such political subdivision or taxing unit shall keep on file all such bids received, together with proof, for a least three years following the letting of any contract pursuant to such bids, or three years following the first advertisement of such bids pursuant to that advertisement are rejected.

When purchases are made by accepting bids, the Board will accept the low bid provided the quality and the time is comparable to that of the advertisement.

GUIDELINES

1. Consider first the interests of the school system and the betterment of the educational program.

2. Endeavor to obtain the greatest possible value for every tax dollar expended.

3. Give all responsible bidders equal consideration and assurance of unbiased judgment in determining whether their product meets required specifications.

4. Refuse the offer of gifts from vendors.

5. Refrain from soliciting funds or materials from vendors, unless prior approval has been obtained from the Board of Education.

6. The Board reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids.
