Competitive bidding requires a board of education to advertise and seek formal bids for certain purchases, such as construction, repairs, and school buses, to ensure fair and transparent public contracts.
Opportunities will be posted here as they become available. Questions can be directed to the District Treasurer.
These procedures are designed to preserve the integrity of public contracts and are strictly construed and enforced by the courts. The legislative intent of competitive bidding is to provide for open and honest competition in bidding for public contracts and to hold the public, as well as bidders themselves, harmless from any kind of favoritism or fraud (Bd. of Edn. v. Sever-Williams Co., 22 Ohio St.2d 107 (1970)).
