7-BPS Procurement Policy Links.pdf

This file comprises procurement policy links and reference materials for the Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) District in New York. The document directs users to four key procurement policies: the Purchasing Policy (5410), Alternative Formats for Instructional Materials (5412), Procurement procedures under Uniform Grant Guidance for Federal Awards (5413), and Minority and/or Women Owned Business Enterprises guidelines (5414). These policies are accessible through the BPS BoardDocs system and establish the regulatory framework governing procurement activities across the district.

The related contract opportunity seeks qualified firms to provide on-demand hazardous materials assessment and testing services across the BPS district, which comprises over 70 schools and facilities. Required services include investigations, inspections, sampling, testing, hazardous materials reporting, work plans development, bidding assistance, and consulting services. Qualified vendors must maintain appropriate licensing and employ trained and certified personnel capable of inspecting and sampling asbestos, lead, PCBs, and mold. Assessment activities will be conducted on an as-needed basis using both non-invasive visual methods and selective destructive sampling to comprehensively evaluate buildings and provide recommendations for abatement or mitigation of identified hazardous materials.
