GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES Subject 3.1 APPROVE Downey Unified School District Resolution No. 202324-27, Authorizing Piggyback Contract for Lease of Relocatable Classrooms with Ramps and Landings Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20118. Meeting Feb 13, 2024 - Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action FROM: Robert McEntire, Ed.D., Associate Superintendent, Business Services Prepared by: Portia Mina, CPSM, CPPO, CPPB, Director, Purchasing and Warehouse ACTION ITEM Staff recommends the Board adopt Resolution No. 202324-27 to authorize and approve the “Agreement Incorporating Piggyback Contract for the Lease of Relocatable Classrooms with Ramps and Landings and Portable Restroom” with Class Leasing, LLC, in an amount not-to-exceed $1,404,970 for the lease of thirty-two (32) total relocatable classrooms with ramps and landings and one (1) portable restroom for use at the four following school sites: Imperial Elementary School (8133 Imperial Highway, Downey, CA 90242), Rio Hondo Elementary School (7731 Muller Street, Downey, CA 90241), Rio San Gabriel Elementary School (9338 Gotham Street, Downey, CA 90242), and Carpenter Elementary School (9439 Foster Road, Downey, CA 90242). Four separate lease agreements are attached to the Agreement Incorporating Piggyback Contract for the Lease of Relocatable Classrooms with Ramps and Landings and Portable Restroom as Exhibit “A”, incorporated therein, setting out the size, number, and cost of the relocatable classrooms with ramps and landings and portable restroom being leased for use at each respective school site. Under Public Contract Code section 20111, the District is required, absent an exception, to competitively bid the lease or purchase of equipment, materials, or supplies exceeding the bid threshold of $114,500 for 2024. However, Public Contract Code section 20118, commonly referred to as the “piggybacking” statute, is an exception to the competitive bidding requirement, and allows the District to lease or purchase equipment, materials, or supplies by utilizing an existing contract, authorized by law, between a vendor and another public agency, pursuant to the same terms and equal prices, in addition to any incidental costs, of the existing contract. Incidental costs refer to labor and/or installation services associated with the lease or purchase of equipment, materials, or supplies. Contracts entered into pursuant to Public Contract Code section 20118 may contain additional incidental costs. California courts have stated that labor and/or installation services that comprise of less than 10 percent of the total contract amount are considered “incidental”, while labor and/or installation services that comprise of more than 50 percent of the total contract amount are not considered “incidental”. However, where labor and/or installation services are more than 10 percent, but less than 50 percent, of the total contract amount, governing board findings must demonstrate that the cost for such services is “incidental.” (See Steelgard v. Jansen (1985) 171 Cal. App. 3d 79, 88-89.) Gonzales Unified School District has procured a contract with Class Leasing, LLC for "District-wide Lease, Purchase, Additive Items, Movement, Relocation, Dismantling, and Removal of DSA approved Modular Buildings" (“Piggyback Contract”). The Piggyback Contract provides that any California school district may lease or purchase the equipment, materials, and supplies at the same price, and upon the same terms, as the Piggyback Contract. District staff have performed their due diligence and researched the costs and terms of the Piggyback Contract. District staff have determined that the prices provide
