1.1017.09 CONTRACT EXTENSION Issue Date: 01/03/19 CBF
The Board of Education or Procurement Officer may extend an existing contract without engaging in a standard procurement process as stated in this section. A contract extension does not involve a standard procurement process. Because one of the purposes and policies of the Procurement Code is to ensure the fair and equitable treatment of all persons who deal with the procurement system and to foster effective broad-based competition within the free enterprise system, and the most effective way to achieve this is by conducting a standard procurement process whenever public funds are expended for a procurement item, a contract extension should only be used after thorough analysis and proper justification.
