  4. Piggyback Bids Definition of Piggybacking: A procedure of procuring materials, supplies or equipment by utilizing another public entity’s award of an Invitation to Bid or Request for Proposal. CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO 2013

  5. Piggyback Bids Legal Basis for Piggybacking: Public Contract Code Section 20118 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO 2013

  6. Piggyback Bids In order for a bid to be piggybackable: • The original bid by the awarding agency must contain a piggyback clause • The awarded vendor must agree that your agency can piggyback on the contract CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO 2013

  7. Piggyback Bids Steps to follow for successfully participating (piggybacking) on another agency’s bid: • Contact the awarding agency and have them forward you a copy of their bid documents • Verify the Terms and Conditions meet your district’s requirements. • Verify the bid was advertised and awarded legally CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO 2013

  8. Piggyback Bids Steps to follow for successfully participating (piggybacking) on another agency’s bid: • Verify the bid is still valid (check expiration date and possible contract renewals) • Verify that it’s in the best interest of your district • Take to your Board for approval CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO 2013

  9. Piggyback Bids Other Considerations: - bonds - payment process - using a piggyback clause in your district’s bids - annual blanket board approval for use of piggyback bids and other cooperative purchasing contracts CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO 2013

  10. Piggyback Bids Sample piggyback clause: Other school districts and public agencies may purchase under this bid at the same prices, terms and conditions stated in these bid documents, at the discretion of the successful bidder. Agencies participating in this bid shall be responsible for obtaining approval from their approving body of authority when necessary and shall hold the (School District/Public Entity Name) harmless from any disputes, disagreements or actions which may arise as a result of using this bid. The (School District/Public Entity Name) waives its right to receive payment, and authorizes each district to make payment and place orders directly to the successful bidder.

  11. Piggyback Bids Pros: - time constraints - smaller districts - unfamiliar with product/technology Cons: - may get better deal with own bid CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO 2013

  12. Piggyback Bids Can you piggyback on an RFP (Request for Proposal) for services? Can you piggyback on an E-Rate bid? Can you piggyback on a construction bid? CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO 2013

  13. Piggyback Bids Can you purchase through a bid that was not done in your county or state? • CA Govt.
