Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 6A:27-9.13
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) Annual extensions of an existing contract, approved by the executive county superintendent, shall be permitted provided:
1. The contract was entered into
through competitive bidding;
2. The
terms of the contract remain the same;
3. There is no increase in the annual amount
of the contract to the district board of education, or the increase in the
contractual base amount as a result of such extension does not result in an
effective increase that exceeds for the school year the annual rise in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) as defined in
18A:7F-45, regardless of whether
the route description has changed or an aide has been added or removed. The
increase may exceed the rise in the CPI when the increase, as provided for in
the original bid, is directly attributable to the addition of an aide, a route
change to accommodate a new student rider, or safety concerns. Any such
extension shall require the approval of the executive county superintendent.
i. The contractual base amount is the sum of
the actual cost to the district board of education for items included in the
bid at the end of the term of the contract in the prior year; and
4. The school destination remains
the same as the original contract.
i.
Destination is defined as the physical location of the school(s).
(b) When it is necessary to change the bus type, an immediate rebid of a contract renewal shall not be required. Any such change shall be approved by the district board of education and shall be bid for the next school year.
