The Board of Directors shall approve all change orders and contingencies with a total combined value of $100,000 or greater.
Requirement for Advance Price Quotations: Purchases made on behalf of the District should minimize cost to the extent practicable, but the final decision to award to a particular vendor must be carried out on the basis of obtaining best possible value for the District. Price quotations should be routinely sought and are required in the following instances:
Items with a value greater than $1,000 but less than $5,000: Purchases of items with a value greater than $1,000 but less than $5,000 for a single line item should only be made after soliciting three price quotations. The quotations may be received either orally or in writing but should become part of the purchase order documentation.

Split Procurements: When determining which body must approve a procurement, or the procedures necessary in documenting the procurement, the maximum possible monetary value of a procurement must be taken into account.

The system of controls should provide complete transparency in the procurement process.
Procurement from Other Than the Lowest Quoting Vendor: While it is the desire of the Board of Directors to purchase supplies and services at the least cost to the District, there may be instances when the award of a purchase to other than the least-cost vendor produces greatest value and is in the best interests of the District. To the extent possible, District staff should:
maximize the value received use sources which will be responsive to the needs and timelines of District seek commonality in major equipment to minimize inventory and training costs consider minimizing the cost of ownership over the lifetime of the requirement consistent
with meeting acceptable quality, reliability and delivery constraints.
Procurement through Negotiation: While competitive solicitation is the normal procedure to be used to purchase supplies and services, negotiation with a single vendor may be beneficial in some instances. Circumstances that might indicate negotiation include situations where competition does not exist (i.e. only one vendor is interested in providing the product or service) or where special economies may exist outside the competitive process (i.e. as when a contractor is already mobilized for another purpose). The Board may authorize the General Manager to negotiate procurement when extraordinary circumstances exist.
Encouragement of Local Procurement: In meeting the criteria outlined above, staff is encouraged to use local vendors in meeting the District's needs for supplies and services.
Internet Procurements: The above notwithstanding, the General Manager may authorize staff to make procurements through internet commerce in instances when such procurement results in minimizing the cost to Camrosa or ensuring responsiveness to the needs and timelines of the District.
Risk Transfer: In order to minimize the potential liability exposure of the District, Contracts and Agreements with vendors for supplies and services shall include appropriate risk transfer clauses as recommended by the District's liability insurance provider. Contractors and suppliers must, at a minimum have adequate liability and workers compensation insurance. An order should not be made effective with a contractor until the relevant insurance documents, including a performance bond as necessary, have been approved.
Code of Ethics: In exercising procurement authority, it is essential that each individual maintain an unimpeachable standard of integrity and foster the highest possible standard of professional competence. Complying with both the letter and the spirit of the principles of ethical behavior is essential. In doing so, each individual must declare any personal interest that may impinge, or might reasonably be deemed by others to impinge, upon a person’s impartiality in any procurement decision.
Implementation: This policy shall become effective upon adoption by the Board of Directors.
Modification: This policy may be modified from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.
Conflicting Policies: This policy shall prevail over any District policies and procedures found in conflict.
Agenda Item #5
Board Memorandum
August 9, 2018 To: General Manager From: Kevin Wahl, Superintendent of Operations Subject: District Fleet
Objective: Replace an existing pool vehicle and lease an additional utility vehicle. Action Required: Authorize the General Manager to:
1) Appropriate funds to establish a fixed asset for a pool vehicle and issue a purchase order not to exceed $30,000.00, plus tax, license and registration; and
2) Enter into a 60‐month lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet for a utility truck. Discussion: The District needs to acquire two new vehicles: a pool vehicle to replace the current pool vehicle of which the lease has expired and a utility vehicle to accommodate the newly hired Instrumentation Technician.
Staff has researched purchasing versus leasing for both vehicles. Because the pool vehicle will incur low mileage and light use, it is advantageous to purchase it. As the utility vehicle will incur high mileage and heavy use, it is to the District’s advantage to lease it. Staff recommends entering into a 60‐month lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet in the amount of $483.01 per month with a 100,000‐mile allowance. There are sufficient funds available in the current Fiscal Year 2018‐19 budget for the vehicle lease budget.
