Trustees hold first reading on raising procurement threshold to $60,000
Summary
Board held a first reading on a proposed policy to raise the RFP threshold to $60,000; trustees said the change would allow routine maintenance and smaller capital work to proceed more quickly while retaining reporting and oversight.
Board members reviewed a first reading of a policy proposal to raise the district’s procurement threshold to $60,000, the point at which a formal request-for-proposals (RFP) is required. Supporters said the change would allow staff to move routine maintenance, repairs and smaller purchases more quickly while still requiring staff to communicate purchases to the board.
Trustees asked staff to provide examples of typical purchases near the current limit and to return with a finalized policy for approval at a future meeting. No final action was taken; trustees were asked to examine the proposal and bring concerns to the next regular meeting.
