SAA Testifies Against Competitive Bidding Bill
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | July 12, 2017
SAA Executive Director John Forester testified in opposition of Assembly Bill 307 today at a public hearing held before the Assembly Committee on Local Government.
In addition, Waunakee Superintendent Randy Guttenberg and Julie Waner, Vice President of the Waunakee Board of Education, did a fabulous job in testifying in opposition to AB 307.
You might recall that, Assembly Bill 307 would require that a school board, before entering into a contract for the construction, repair, remodeling, or improvement of a public school building or public school facilities or for the furnishing of supplies or materials with an estimated cost greater than $75,000, must advertise or direct the school district clerk to advertise for proposals and must let the contract to the lowest responsible bidder.
The bill would also prohibit a school board from using a bidding method that gives preference based on the geographic location of the bidder or that uses criteria other than the lowest responsible bidder in awarding a contract.
The SAA will keep you informed of any developments regarding this important legislation.
