156.076 Price contracts information to be furnished district boards -- Purchase conditions. The chief state school officer shall furnish full information on established price contracts
to each district board of education. Any board of education may purchase supplies and
equipment from the vendor to whom the contract has been awarded, under the terms of
the contract. Any board of education may advertise for its own bids on supplies and
equipment which meet the specifications of the contracts awarded by the Office of
Material and Procurement Services in the Office of the Controller. Any board of
education, after advertising for bids, may award contracts if the chief state school officer
certifies that the bid offers supplies and equipment which meet the standards and
specifications fixed by the Kentucky Board of Education and that the bid price is lower
than that established by the price contract agreement. If supplies and equipment that meet
the specifications of the contracts awarded by the Office of Material and Procurement
Services or a federal, local, or cooperative agency are available for purchase elsewhere, a
board of education may purchase those supplies and equipment without advertising for
bids. However, prior to making the purchases, the board of education shall obtain
certification from:
(1) The Department of Education for technology components defined in the master plan for education technology for which standards have been established by the
Kentucky Board of Education. The department shall certify that the items to be
purchased meet or exceed, at a lower cost, the specifications of the components of
the original equipment of manufacturers currently holding Kentucky education
technology system price contracts; and (2) The district's finance officer for supplies and equipment other than that described in subsection (1) of this section. He shall certify that the items to be purchased meet
the standards and specifications fixed by state price contract, federal (GSA) price
contract, the local school district's bid, or the bid of another school district whose
bid specifications allow other districts to utilize their bids, and that the sales price is
lower than that established by the price contract agreement or available through the
bidding process and the price does not exceed two thousand five hundred dollars
