Equipment Purchases
Please contact Laurel Lorenz, Purchasing Supervisor to purchase equipment with a unit cost greater than $500. Items with a unit cost of less than $500 are usually considered supplies and can be purchased under those guidelines. Please see Supply Purchases for more information.
Equipment with a unit cost between $40,000 and $75,000 must be formally quoted by law. The purchasing department solicits written quotations from vendors. These quotes are evaluated against written specifications. Awards are made to the lowest responsive bidder.
Equipment with a unit cost in excess of $75,000 must be formally bid by law. The purchasing department solicits written bids from vendors. The solicitation must be approved by the board of directors and must be advertised in a newspaper. Bids are evaluated against written specifications. Awards are made to the lowest responsive bidder.
Equipment purchased with ASB funds becomes the property of the district.
