On June 3, 2019, the Board of Education approved the renewal of an agreement for independent 
audit services with Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP, now Eide Bailly, LLP, for fiscal year 2019-2020.

Goal 4.1: Implement sustainable plan for the budget under the Local Control Funding formula.

The District must have in place a contract for independent audit services unless it intends to have those services provided through the contract negotiated by the Stanislaus County Office of Education.

Per Government Code Section 53060, a school district may enter into contracts for special services and advice on financial, economic, accounting, engineering, legal, or administrative matters outside of a competitive bidding process.

Staff has determined it is in the District's best interest to renew the agreement for independent audit services with Eide Bailly, LLP for fiscal years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022.  A copy of the agreement with Eide Bailly, LLP is on file in the Business Services Office - Fiscal.

The maximum fee for the contract for auditing services with Eide Bailly, LLP, for fiscal years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 shall not exceed $79,700 annually.  The costs are budgeted in the General Fund.

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve authorization to renew the agreement for independent audit services with Eide Bailly, LLP for fiscal years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022.

The District has a need to purchase several heavy-duty vehicle lifts for the Transportation Department.

Goal 4.3: Invest in school facilities and infrastructure for safe and clean facilities.

The costs to purchase the vehicle lifts will exceed the current bid threshold.  Competitive bids must be sought or identified to meet formal bid requirements per Public Contract Code Section 20111(a).

Sourcewell, formerly NJPA (National Joint Powers Alliance), is a public agency serving as a national municipal contracting agency and has the authority to develop and offer cooperative procurement services.  Contracts awarded through this agency contain cooperative purchase language that allows other agencies to utilize as required by provision 20118 of the Public Contract Code. 

These contracts are considered cooperative or “piggy-backable” contracts, they meet bidding requirements, allow for multiple public agency use, and allow California public agencies to achieve greater cost savings.

Through this national cooperative procurement process, Stertil-KONI was awarded contract #061015-SKI “Heavy Duty Vehicle Lifts.”  The Sourcewell/NJPA contract was originally awarded on July 21, 2015 and has been renewed through a letter of agreement to extend the contract through July 21, 2020. 

Upon review, it is staff’s determination that the District would derive more benefit by utilizing this cooperative bid contract than to seek separate bids for the purchase of the heavy-duty vehicle lifts in the Transportation Department.  The Stertil-KONI equipment will be purchased directly from a local authorized distributor, Municipal Maintenance Equipment, located in Sacramento, CA.

The National School Breakfast Program was established in 1966 to ensure that all children would have an opportunity to start their school day with a healthy breakfast.  Recent studies have linked a healthy breakfast to improved academic performance.  Modesto City Schools operates an exemplary breakfast program at all school sites.

The California Interscholastic Federation's "Pursuing Victory with Honor" program is based on 16 Operating Beliefs and Principles.  Principle #8 reads as follows:  "School Boards, superintendents, school administrators, parents, and school sport leadership must ensure that the first priority of their student-athletes is a serious commitment to getting an education and developing the academic skills and character to succeed."

1.5 Ensure students have access to enrichment activities at all school sites.

Athletic Eligibility Verification Forms provide documentation that coaches, athletic directors, and principals have checked the eligibility status of all athletes.  Note the last column on the right, which verifies that inter/intradistrict permits are current and meet Board policy criteria.

The Athletic Eligibility Verification Forms will be submitted by sites each Fall, Winter, and Spring under the "Pursuing Victory with Honor" program.
