Summary: Presented by: Ms. Stacy Stepney, Chief Academic Officer, Division of Curriculum and Instruction
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education authorize the District to increase the vendor spend to purchase musical instruments for elementary, middle, and high schools from the following vendors in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000.00: Adorama, Alamo Music Center, Amro Music Stores, Inc., Brook Mays Music and H and H Music Universal Melody Services, Delgado Guitars, Lone Star Percussion ZNK Partners, LLC, Midwest Musical Imports MSA Music, Inc., Music and Arts Guitar Center Stores, Inc., Penders Music Company Betrold Enterprises, Inc., SoundTree Korg USA, Steve Weiss Music, Taylor Music, Inc., Terra Nova Violins LLC, The Bandwagon Music Store and Repair, The Tuba Exchange, Washington Music Sales Center, Inc., in accordance with the TIPS Contract No. 210302 through May 31, 2023 and West Music in accordance with Choice Partners Cooperative Agreement #19/034KC-07 through June 18, 2023.
Why: This request is to increase the vendor spend to purchase musical instruments utilizing the buying power of TIPS Cooperative Agreement, and Choice Partners Cooperative Agreement. The use of the cooperative agreements in addition to DCSD Bid 19-163 will enlarge the vendor pool to assist in handling the large demand for musical instruments without cutting out local/smaller vendors.

The current agenda item is an extension of the May 9, 2022 agenda item request. This request is to increase the spend amount not to exceed $2,000,000.00.

In addition, utilizing the cooperative agreements to purchase musical instruments ensures that local schools have access to quality suppliers and quality products as the vendors have already been vetted.
Details: The use of these agreements with the listed vendors will provide access to musical instruments from a large pool of vendors that can supply the equipment in a timely manner.
Financial impact: The financial impact is $2,000,000.00, which will be allocated from cost code SP5BUSEQUP.52135.FFE and SP5BUSEQUP.52135.FFE-GRTR5K under the voter-approved E-SPLOST V program.
