Summary:
Due to the modernization projects and general upkeep of locks, door-knobs, and other door-related equipment, the district is approaching bid threshold of $114,800. Our technology department also purchases from WESCO. Because of many one-time purchases that fell on this fiscal year, with the same vendor staff is looking to use Sourcewell JPA Contract with WESCO Distribution, Inc., contract #091422-WES.

Government Code §§ 6500 et seq. provides public agencies, including school districts, may enter into joint powers agreements to exercise powers common to them, including the power to procure equipment, materials, and supplies. Sourcewell is a Joint Power Authority, which the District has joined by executing a Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program Participation Agreement, which was Board approved on October 23, 2024, through Resolution #24/25-31.
Sourcewell issued a Request for Proposal for Facility MRO [Maintenance, Repair, and Operations], Industrial, and Building-Related Supplies and Equipment, RFP #091422. WESCO Distribution, Inc. submitted proposal and was awarded the contract, Sourcewell Contract #091422-WES. This contract is valid through November 8, 2026.
