The District is a member of the Cooperative Educational Purchasing Council (CEPC). The geography of the CEPC lies
along the front range of the Rocky Mountains from the Ft. Collins/Greeley area in the north to Colorado Springs in the
south. This membership of public purchasing departments represents approximately seventy percent (70%) of the K-12
public school enrollment in the State of Colorado.
It is hereby agreed and understood that any member of the CEPC may, at its discretion, avail itself of this contract and
purchase any and all items specified herein from the successful Bidder(s) at the contract price(s) established herein. If a
CEPC member exercises this option, it shall be understood and agreed that such an arrangement does not bind either the
CEPC member or the successful Bidder to the terms, conditions or prevailing awards generated through this bid
solicitation; nor does it preclude the CEPC member from pursuing a purchase or purchases through their own
contracting methods with another or other vendors.
It shall be further understood and agreed that the District is not a legally binding party to any contractual agreement
made between a CEPC member and the Bidder as a result of this bid. Each CEPC member which determines to enter
into a contractual arrangement with the successful Bidder shall establish its own contract, place its own orders, issue its
own purchase orders, be invoiced there from and make its own payments, and issue its own exemption certificates as
required by the Bidder.
