LEISD employees may not order goods and/or services without the issuance of a written purchase order issued by an authorized official.What are the District's insurance requirements?
The general insurance requirements are workers' compensation, general liability and vehicle liability. The specific type and amount of insurance required depends on the nature of the goods and/ore services to be provided and will be specified in the RFP, CSP, RFQ and/or DBF documents.Does LEISD require bonds?
Yes. State law requires construction contractors to provide a payment bond for contracts with a cost of $25,000 or more. Performance bonds are required for construction contracts with a cost of $100,000 or more. For construction projects, bonds are required that are 5% of the amount typically. The specific information on type and/ore amount required will be specified in the RFP, CSP, RFQ and/or DBF documents.Does LEISD require a W-9 form?
Yes. We are required to maintained a current W-9 form on file for every vendor. It is the responsibility of the vendor to ensure that the W-9 that the District has on file is current.Note: Per the IRS, a W-9 is considered current as long as the information it contains and/or supplies is still true, accurate and without change. The date the form was signed has no bearing on if it is considered current or not. However, LEISD may request a new W-9 with a current date at its discretion.

State law requires all school districts to process an authorized Purchase Order (PO) prior to placing an order committing district managed funds. A purchase order is not authorized until it is approved by the Associate Superintendent for Finance & Operations and/or Superintendent. Vendors should not accept orders without verification of an approved purchase order.
The District is NOT responsible for any orders placed before the purchase order has the appropriate approvals.
