A bill to amend 1976 PA 451, entitled
"The revised school code,"
(MCL 380.1 to 380.1852) by adding section 1245.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 1245. (1) Not later than June 30, 2012, the board of a
school district or intermediate school board of an intermediate
school district shall enter into 1 or more contracts for the
provision of food service, custodial, and transportation services
for the school district or intermediate school district. A school
district or intermediate school district shall not directly employ
personnel to provide food service, custodial, or transportation
services after June 30, 2012.
(2) Before entering into a contract described in subsection
(1) or renewal of a contract described in subsection (1), the board
of a school district or intermediate school board of an
intermediate school district shall obtain competitive bids on the
provision of the services. Not later than January 1, 2012, the
superintendent of public instruction shall develop and make
available to school districts and intermediate school districts a
model competitive bidding process that may be used for the purposes
of this subsection. This model process may be based on the process
prescribed for competitive bidding of construction contracts under
section 1267.
(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to contracts of less than
$20,000.00. The maximum amount specified in this subsection shall
be adjusted each year by multiplying the amount for the immediately
preceding year by the percentage by which the average consumer
price index for all items for the 12 months ending August 31 of the
year in which the adjustment is made differs from that index's
average for the 12 months ending on August 31 of the immediately
preceding year and adding that product to the maximum amount that
applied in the immediately preceding year, rounding to the nearest
whole dollar.
