Why: Approval of these cooperative contracts will allow DCSD to efficiently address furniture needs for the Dresden Elementary School Replacement. This purchase will support the instructional and administrative programs at the new school while ensuring fiscal responsibility, procurement compliance, and operational flexibility. Additionally, approval is critical to support the established timeline of this project.
Details: DeKalb County School District is requesting to purchase Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment from various vendors for the CIP 21836 -Dresden Elementary School Replacement Project. This school replacement project at Dresden Elementary School was approved by the Board on May 6, 2024, and is slated to open in August 2028.
The vendors listed are authorized to purchase from State of Georgia contracts and national cooperative purchasing contracts.

Utilizing cooperative contracts allows the district to leverage nationally competitively solicited pricing, pre-vetted vendors, and legally compliant procurement processes without the time and cost of conducting separate bids. This approach delivers cost savings, standardized specifications, predictable lead times, warranty protection, and quality assurance, while reducing procurement risk and administrative burden. Ultimately, using cooperative contracts enables the district to respond more quickly to school needs while ensuring safe, durable, and equitable learning environments.

To maximize competition, quotes will be obtained from various vendors to leverage these agreements for our FF&E purchasing needs. This purchase will provide the school with furniture, fixtures, and equipment to support the instructional program and administrative office.
Financial impact: The financial impact, not to exceed $1,500,000, will be funded through the voter-approved E-SPLOST Fund using the account code:
