Summary:
California Public Contract Code § 20118 allows a school district to purchase items without competitive bidding, where another public corporation or entity has a contract to purchase items, known as a "piggyback contract." District staff seeks to piggyback on San Bernardino City Unified School District’s (SBCUSD) Request for Proposal (RFP) #22-17 for Furniture purchases. SBCUSD conducted a RFP for the furniture purchases, the same services MDUSD was seeking. MDUSD reviewed this RPF and several others. Staff also solicited the views and opinions of other districts in order to obtain an understanding of the furniture purchase market in the area.

Through this process staff discovered Hertz Furniture, and their RFP award with SBCUSD. Hertz Furniture's quality and price point make Hertz the good fit for our furniture purchase needs. By utilizing this piggyback option, the District is streamlining the procurement process of our own RFP, thereby saving the district time and money of processing our own RFP. District staff asks the Board to make the determination that allowing this piggyback option is in the best interest of the District.

Staff requests the Board approval of for the use of the piggyback agreement with SBCUSD and Hertz Furniture Systems, LLC for Furniture purchases not to extend beyond the date of the original agreement, being January 16, 2028, or until such Agreement is no longer in affect between SBCUSD and Hertz Furniture.
