Rule 12-3-2.1 - Policies and Procedures
Section 12-3-2.1-800 - FURNITURE & EQUIPMENT
Section 12-3-2.1-800.8 - NON-PURCHASABLE ITEMS
The Using Agency's Preliminary List may include anything and everything regarding the complete furnishing and equipping of a facility. However, certain items fall into administrative budgetary categories, such as commodities, which have a short life expectancy. Items purchased with general funds or bond funds fall into the capital outlay category and must generally have a life expectancy of twenty (20) years. Any item not meeting the twenty (20) year criteria will be eliminated from the Using Agency's Preliminary List unless there is sufficient justification otherwise.
The Using Agency may use its own funds to procure the non-purchasable items; however, the Bureau will not consider using its restricted funds for such purposes.
