Capital Outlay Athletic Allotment Requests
Prepared by BCS Facilities Department, May 29, 2012
The
Board of Education must approve use of Capital Outlay Athletic
Allotment at their regularly scheduled monthly meeting. Board meetings
are held on the first Thursday of the month, August through June; the
Board does not meet in July. Submission of Agenda items is
approximately two weeks before the Board meets.
The submission requirements for use of Capital Outlay Athletic Allotment funds are:
- A letter signed by the Principal or an
email from the Principal shall be submitted to the Director of
Facilities describing and approving the project with associated costs
based upon quotes solicited.
- The Advisory Council must approve
the use and expense (majority rules) and this shall be reported by the
Principal in the request. The Advisory Council may approve the expense
either in their meeting or via a phone poll.
- Receipt of quotes
appropriate for the expenditure amount shall be included in the request.
The guidelines for quotes are as follows:
- When
the amount to be spent is less than $5,000, telephone quotes must be
requested from at least 3 contractors/suppliers by the Principal or
Athletic Director and documented. The lowest quote is the winner, and
that is the amount and contractor that shall be submitted to the
Director of Facilities in the request. The request shall state that 3
telephone quotes were solicited and the vendor name & amount of the
lowest quote. If the lowest quote is not to be considered,
justification must be provided.
- When the expenditure exceeds
$5,000 but is less than $20,000, hard copy quotes must be requested from
at least 3 contractors/suppliers by the Principal or Athletic Director,
the low quote being the winner. The request shall state that three
hard copy quotes were solicited and the vendor name & amount of the
lowest quote. A copy of the lowest quote shall accompany the request to
the Director of Facilities. (Copies of all three hard copy quotes will
be needed by the Purchasing Officer when you submit the Purchase
Order).
- In the rare event that the amount to be spent exceeds
$20,000, contact shall be made with the Purchasing Officer to follow bid
procedures.
