3 GENERAL INTRODUCTION Purpose: The purpose of this manual is to provide information to all schools and departments regarding the Purchasing Policies and Procedures of Danbury ISD. General Objective: The Business Office is responsible for establishing an environment that provides a competitive opportunity for all vendors in providing the goods and services needed by the District; minimizing the administrative costs of procurement, while providing the materials, equipment, and services needed by the schools and departments from the right supplier, at the right quality, at the right price, at the right time. Responsibility: It is the responsibility of all DISD employees involved in any aspect of the purchasing function to be familiar with these policies and procedures. The employees are to follow them in the execution of day-to-day business and to report any violations to their immediate supervisor. The Business Office is primarily responsible for compliance with these procedures. PURCHASING AUTHORITY Authority for Procurement: The Board of Trustees has authorized the Superintendent or his designee the authority to make budgeted purchases unless state law or Board policy requires the Board to make or approve a purchase. Board Policy states that all policies, procedures, and practices for procurement will follow the applicable laws of the State of Texas as prescribed in the Texas Education Code Statutes, Texas Attorney General Opinions, Vernon s Annotated Texas Statutes, federal regulations and other applicable sources. General Responsibilities: Purchasing services begin when a department determines a need for goods or services and ends when that need is met. The Business Office provides support to the schools and departments by providing for the acquisition of the goods or services needed. These acquisitions are monitored by or handled by the Business Office to ensure compliance with all applicable statutory and legal requirements, Danbury ISD Board Policy, good purchasing practices, and adherence to the ethical standards advocated by the Texas Association of School Business Officials. Responsibility of Schools and Departments: Schools and departments are encouraged to utilize planning activities for anticipated needs. Lead times for the Business Office and the vendors must be considered. Items requiring Board action must be formally placed on the agenda. Principals and department heads are responsible for the funds under their control. It is the responsibility of this manager to track available funds and to not exceed the allocated budget in any category. Requests for additional funding or transfers from one budget category to another must be directed to the Director of Business Services. Unauthorized Purchases: Budget managers (principals and department heads) may only authorize expenditure of appropriated funds. The state requires that a school district operate under an encumbrance accounting system. In simple terms, this means that no one has the authority to spend district funds unless the funds have been allocated for this purpose. This is the function of 3

4 the Danbury ISD purchasing system. Requisitions encumber the funds to be used for the acquisition of goods or services. It is important that a purchase order be issued before the acquisition is made. All purchase commitments shall be made by the Business Office on a properly drawn and issued purchase order. Orders placed without a properly drawn purchase order shall not be honored by the District. All District employees should note that acquisitions of goods or services that do not follow the established procedures are considered to be unauthorized and the person completing such a transaction may be held personally liable for the debt. CATEGORIES OF PROCUREMENT Introduction: State law requires that school districts consider all purchases in the aggregate for the current fiscal year. This means that the Business Office must consider the overall position of the District when reviewing purchases and is not allowed to consider school or department on its own. Procurement Levels: If the item or services needed are not currently covered in a Board awarded contract, the limits listed below will apply. LEVEL I - For purchases up to $1,000. These items will be handled in the most expeditious manner possible. Verbal quotes are acceptable. Order placement will be based on past experience considering price, quality, and delivery date. LEVEL II - $1,001 to $9,999. Schools and departments should obtain three quotes. Phone quotes may be documented and accepted. Actual order placement will be determined by the Business Office based on price, quality, product availability, past experience with the vendors, and other factors allowed by law. LEVEL III - $10,000 to $49,999. Requires three written quotes. Vendors responding to the published DISD Notice to Vendors must be included in the quoting process. Quotes may be faxed. Actual order placement will be determined by the Business Office based on price, quality, product availability, past experience with the vendors, and other factors allowed by law. Purchase exceeding $25,000 must be approved by the Board of Trustees. LEVEL IV - $50,000 or more - Will require that competitive procurement methods as defined by Texas Education Code be utilized. A recommendation for award will be prepared by the Director of Business Services in conjunction with the requesting school or department for consideration by the Superintendent based on price, quality, product availability, past experience with the vendors, and other factors allowed by law. Award will be made by the Board based on the recommendation by the administrative staff and other factors that the Board may consider. The purchase contract must be authorized by Board action before the purchase order will be released. EXCEPTIONS FOR SOLE SOURCE ITEMS The District recognizes that there may be instances when sole source purchases must be made, but such purchases must be appropriately justified according to Education Code The justification for such purchases must be in writing on the form that follows. 4

5 SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DOCUMENT Per Danbury ISD Purchasing Policy, this document is designed to assist departments in providing information necessary to process Requisitions to Purchase for a sole-source or proprietary purchase of goods or services. A sole source purchase may be made when there is clearly and legitimately a single source of supply. Please complete and forward to the Director of Business Services with your requisition. Submitting this document does not guarantee sole source approval. Vendor Name: Address: Phone Number: Is this vendor the manufacturer of the product or service?

6 APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES FOR A PURCHASE ORDER A purchase order will be used to procure routine supplies and/or services. Examples include purchases of the following: office supplies, library books, furniture, equipment, maintenance supplies, computer software, repair parts, and athletic equipment. All preview orders must be submitted by a purchase order. District purchase order forms are considered a requisition until reviewed by the Business Office. Upon determination that items are correct, a purchase order number is assigned. After printing, they will be signed by the Superintendent and the Director of Business Services. The following items are checked before approval is given: 1. Proper campus or departmental approval 2. Valid account coding 3. Policy compliance 4. Notation of shipping charges Requisitions should originate at the campus or departmental level. Upon completion of review, the purchase order is approved for distribution according to the designation on the purchase order form. The original will be mailed or faxed to the vendor unless specific and clear instructions to the contrary are indicated. The originator is responsible for clearing the purchase order for payment when acceptable goods or services have been satisfactorily delivered. When an order has been completed and received, a copy of the purchase order must be signed and returned to the Business Office as soon as possible. Texas Government Code, Sec states: Except as provided by Subsection (b), a payment by a governmental entity under a contract executed on or after September 1, 1987, is overdue on the 31 st day after the later of: (1) the date the governmental entity receives the goods under the contract; (2) the date the performance of the service under the contract is completed; or (3) the date the governmental entity receives an invoice for the goods or service. All invoices shall be sent by the vendor to the Business Office. If a campus or department receives an invoice, it should be forwarded immediately to the Business Office. DO NOT HOLD INVOICES! Purchase orders for Wal-Mart will be valid for 10 days from issue date. Return receipt(s) to Business Office. Purchase orders must be properly filled out. Exact quantity of individual item ordered must be specified. Enter the unit of measure, description, and unit price. An accurate account number must be entered. Shipping/handling charges MUST be noted in the body of the purchase order. If no charges are applicable, make the notation of no shipping charges on the purchase order. Special instructions that pertain to the purchase order should be listed under remarks. Any questions regarding the status of a purchase order or a payment should be directed to the Business Office. 6

8 CHANGES TO PURCHASE ORDERS Substitutions on Purchase Orders: The originator cannot authorize substitution of items specified on a purchase order. If a product needs to be substituted on the purchase order, a written request will be issued by the Business Office. Bid items may not be substituted, unless specific terms were written into the bid contract that allows for such. If a product is no longer in production or obsolete, then the competitive bid process will begin again. Cancellation/Modification of Purchase Orders: A purchase order confirms the existence of a contract between the District and the vendor. Consequently, it cannot be modified or canceled unilaterally. Any request to modify or cancel an order must be directed to the Business Office. If it becomes necessary to make any changes in the original purchase order, the requesting department should immediately send a written memo to the Business Office describing, in detail, the reasons for change. The Business Office will notify the vendor of approved changes by issuing a purchase change order. The Business Office will handle the request following established procedures. Generally, a vendor will agree to a request for cancellation if the item(s) has not been shipped. The department may be held responsible for any material shipped by a vendor or for other costs incurred before cancellation. Occasionally, the payment of a restocking charge may be authorized. RECEIVING PROCEDURES School/Department Responsibilities: Unless otherwise requested and approved, all goods ordered will be delivered to Danbury ISD Administration Office. Goods delivered to the Administration Office will be forwarded to the requisitioning school or department. The Business Office will be responsible for noting any obvious damage to the shipping containers or obvious damage to the goods delivered. Such damage will be reported immediately and contact with the vendor will be made. All schools or departments should authorize one or more persons to be their authorized receiver. This person will be the contact person for all deliveries to the school or department. When maintenance personnel deliver goods or packages to the requisitioning school or department, the designated receiver will sign the delivery sheet accepting responsibility. As damage may not always be visible from the outside of the packaging, departments are responsible for inspecting the goods delivered to them. The business office should be notified immediately if any damages or shortages are noted. These should be done within two working days from the receipt of the goods. Schools not responding within this time frame may not receive credit for these damaged or missing items. The Business Office will handle any claims regarding purchases to assure that credit is issued to the school. From time to time, the Business Office may, at the school s request, have the products or services ordered delivered directly to the school s location. If such an order is placed, the school will receive the copy of the receiving document directly from the Business Office. The designated receiver must then complete the receiving acknowledgment and attach any applicable documentation from the vendor. These documents should then be forwarded directly to the accounts payable department. Returns: Merchandise to be returned to suppliers or manufacturers for adjustments or credit should be coordinated with the Business Office. The Business Office handles the actual return of 8

9 the merchandise. The vendor is under no obligation to accept a return of items shipped if they have been delivered exactly as listed on the purchase order. Agreement from the vendor to accept a return is not automatic, and a restocking charge may be incurred. These charges will be charged to the school s budget. The only exception is if the item is damaged, and then only if the damage is reported within the two day limit to the Business Office. AUTHORIZED BUDGET PERIODS Fiscal Year: The current budget year for Danbury ISD is September 1 through August 31. All purchases must be processed through the use of the budget funds authorized by the Danbury ISD Board of Trustees. End-Of-Year Procedures: All goods and services ordered using funds budgeted in one year must be received by midnight of the last day of the fiscal year. Goods and services must be received by midnight on August 31, the last day of the fiscal year. If the goods or services are received after this date, the expenditure must be paid from funds budgeted for the NEW budget year. The option is to cancel the purchase order. In order to assist schools and departments in closing their budgets, the Business Office will use July 31 as the cut off date for submitting requisitions for the current fiscal year unless otherwise specified by the Superintendent. Any requisitions accepted after this date will be on a case-by-case basis, and the school or department will risk the expenditure being posted in the next fiscal year. REQUEST FOR DIRECT PAYMENT Purchase requisition forms may be used to request prepayments and contract services that have been provided. Documentation is required for all direct payments. All direct payments for contracted services require a W-9 completed by the vendor with a social security number or tax ID number for the vendor and a telephone number. Examples of direct payments are: ter and/or administrator fees and dues, prepaid professional periodical expenses, consulting/guest speaker services, subscriptions, and registration fees for students/employees. Prepaid hotel, conference or air travel fees must be accompanied by an employee travel request documenting approval to make the trip. Prepaid hotels require a confirmation number, number of employees staying in the room, number of rooms, dates, and conference name. Direct payment requests require the following: originating campus or department, vendor name, a complete description of services to be prepaid, total amount, account number, signature of employee requesting direct payment, principal or supervisor s authorizing signature, and method of sending payment. Each direct payment request must have proper documentation such as invoices, subscription form, or registration form for processing. When a direct payment request is used to pay for registrations and subscriptions, the original and a copy of said form must accompany the request to the Business Office for payment. 9

10 TRAVEL VOUCHER AND MISCELLANEOUS REIMBURSEMENT FORM The travel voucher is used to request approval to attend a workshop or trip and to obtain reimbursement for mileage or other approved expenses incurred after a trip or workshop.
