forth in this Request for Proposal (RFP). Subsequent to the opening of the sealed
proposals, discussion may be conducted between the District and any responsive
and responsible Bidder who submits a proposal that is determined to be

Rockdale County Public Schools Proposal No. 7221-198
Waste Disposal and Recycling RFP 5 Due: November 27, 2018, 10:00 a.m.
any information derived from proposals submitted by competing Bidders. All
such discussions shall be conducted by the Contract Administrator, Glenna Foster,
and must be submitted in accordance to the Schedule of Events (Appendix A).
2.2 The District shall accord Bidders fair and equal treatment with respect to any
opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals; and such revisions may be
permitted after submissions and prior to award for the purpose of obtaining best

non-responsive or not responsible, and to waive technicalities and formalities.

set forth in the RFP. Proposal forms must be completed in their entirety. Any
correction made on the proposal form (white out or strike through) must be

that all potential Bidders will be sent an RFP each time one is issued. RFPs
issued by the District are advertised on the District website,

copy of the RFP. The District will not be bound by oral responses to inquiries or
written responses other than addenda.

APPENDIX D
CONTRACTING WITH A SCHOOL DISTRICT
Georgia law imposes certain restrictions on the District’s contracting activities that a private company
does not face. Many standard clauses typically found in commercial contracts cannot be accepted by a
District. This Memorandum explains why some things are either required in a contract or prohibited from
being in a contract where the District is a party, such as:
1. Authority to Contract
Georgia law authorizes the Rockdale County Board of Education, (“Board”), to contract on
behalf of the Rockdale County School District (“District”), the legal entity.
2. Formalities of Contracts
All contracts must be approved by the Board of Education in an open meeting. All contracts must
be in writing and entered on the Board of Education’s minutes. O.C.G.A. § 36-10-1. No implied
contract claim or quantum meruit claim can be made against the District or its employees.
Harden v. Clarke Co. Bd. Of Educ., 279 Ga. App. 513 (2006).
3. Signature Authority
The Board may authorize someone to sign contracts as its Agent. The entire Board does not have
to sign a contract. The Board has delegated the authority to sign general contracts pursuant to
Board Policy DJE and DJE-R Purchasing which is available on the District’s web site and which
is incorporated into this memorandum by reference and is controlling. In short, the policy
provides as follows:
o The Superintendent or designee shall review and sign all contracts up to $50,000.
o The Chair or Board member designee shall sign all contracts in excess of $50,000 and
all contracts involving real property, the purchase of automobiles and projects involving
an architect. Braswell v. Palmer, 191 Ga. 262 (1940).
4. Multi-Year Contract
Georgia law prohibits a District from agreeing to a multi-year contract without certain provisions.
See paragraph 3, option 3 in the template contract for the required language and legal authority.
5. Unavailability of Funds
As provided by Georgia law, this Contract will terminate immediately and absolutely if
appropriated and otherwise unobligated funds are no longer available to satisfy the obligations of
the District under this contract. However, the District reasonably believes that sufficiently legally
available funds can be obtained to make all payments due hereunder.
6. Prohibited Indemnification
Georgia law prohibits a District from agreeing to indemnify third parties. Indemnification
provisions violate the prohibition against gratuities by a governmental entity. Ga. Const., Art.
VIII, § 5, ¶ IV, cited in Atlanta Chamber of Commerce v. McRae, 174 Ga. 590, 163 S.E. 701
(1932). Indemnification provisions also have been determined to be invalid as unauthorized
attempts to contractually waive sovereign immunity. CSX v. City of Garden City, 277 Ga. 248
(2003).
Rockdale County Public Schools Proposal No. 7221-198
Waste Disposal and Recycling RFP 38 Due: November 27, 2018, 10:00 a.m.
Principles of sovereign and official immunity under the Georgia Constitution protect the District
and its employees against most tort claims. The Georgia Constitution prohibits a District from
granting a gratuity. Consequently, the District is precluded from indemnifying those with whom
or with which it contracts because this amounts to unlawful gratuity. In addition, Georgia law
allows only the legislature to waive immunity. Thus, any contract containing an indemnification
provision by a governmental entity is void and an ultra vires act.
Furthermore, when contracting with the District, the Contractor occupies the best position to
avoid property damage and bodily injury arising out of services rendered or goods delivered
under the contract. Georgia law and public policy require the Contractor to be responsible for its
employees, service, goods and machinery. Given the District’s sovereign immunity and the
employee’s official immunity, the Contractor’s risk under an indemnification provision appears
minimal and would probably extend only to the District’s potential litigation expenses, including
but not limited to, all fees, costs and attorney’s fees. In the event of a claim against the District
by a third party, the litigation expenses would be most likely needed to bring the necessary
motions to assert immunity and to seek dismissal.
6. No Warranty Disclaimers
If the Contract is a result of an Invitation for Bid (“IFB”) or a Request for Proposal (“RFP”),
Bidders may not disclaim warranties. Public policy of the State of Georgia promotes the use of
competitive procurement process to ensure that the public obtains the services and goods it needs
at the lowest competitive price. When the District requests proposals or solicits bids on specific
goods or services, and when the Contractor submits a response representing it can provide such
services or goods, the Contractor may not subsequently disclaim its warranty that the goods and
services fit the need or purpose of the RFP or IFB. If a Contractor attempts to disclaim the
warranty, it would violate the purpose for the procurement competitive process and the bid may
be rejected as non-responsive.
7. Sales Taxes
Georgia law exempts the District from sales taxes. OCGA 48-8-3 Hence, the District will not
agree to contract language which requires the payment of sales taxes. Upon request, the District
will provide a tax exemption certificate.
8. Governing Law and Forum Selection
Georgia law created and governs the District. The District lacks authority to accept the governing
laws of another state. Thus, contracts must be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. The
District does not agree to arbitration. Instead, the District requires an alternative dispute
resolution procedure that allows both parties to submit disputes to mediation prior to filing a
lawsuit. This procedure gives both parties the best opportunity to preserve the relationship and to
resolve its disputes at the least expense. If disputes occur that cannot be resolved by the Parties,
the Parties through good faith negotiation or mediation, must submit to the jurisdiction of the
state or federal courts within Georgia.
9. Confidentiality
9.1 The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §50-18-70 et. seq., prohibits the District from
maintaining confidentiality of public records including the terms and conditions of the
Rockdale County Public Schools Proposal No. 7221-198
Waste Disposal and Recycling RFP 39 Due: November 27, 2018, 10:00 a.m.
Contract and all documents created and maintained in relation to the Contract and its
implementation including proposals, bids, letters and brochures. The Georgia Open Records
Act, however, exempts computer software and computer programs as defined at O.C.G.A §
50-18-72(f).
9.2 Federal and state law mandate that “Student Educational Records” be kept confidential and
that they may be disclosed only upon a limited number of situations. 20 USC 1232 (g)
9.3 Contractor shall acknowledge that the contract and related documents are subject to these
laws and the Contractor shall agree to abide by these laws.
10. Mutual Limitation on Damages
No Party shall be liable to another Party for, nor shall the measure of damages include, any
consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or special damages arising out of or relating to its acts
or omissions arising from this Contract, except in limited situations provided by the contract.
11. Prohibited Fees
Attorney’s fees or litigation costs, taxes, interest, liquidated damages, penalty fees, late payment
fees, or cancellation charges are prohibited fees because these would violate the constitutional
gratuities provision that prohibits governmental entities from granting any donation or gratuity
(gift) to a third party or forgiving any debt or obligation owed to the public. The gratuities clause
essentially requires that the District receives a substantial benefit for the grant or use of its assets
(whether using property or personnel). Ga. Const., Art. III, IV, & VI.
Additionally, Georgia law forbids the District from using monies derived from taxes for anything
other than for educational purposes. Ga. Const., Art. VIII, § 6, ¶ IV(b); O.C.G.A. § 20-2-411.
Using District funds for attorney’s fees or litigation costs, taxes, interests, liquidated damages,
penalty fees or cancellation charges violates these constitutional and statutory provisions.
12. No Drugs, Controlled Substances, Marijuana, Weapons, Discrimination, or Harassment
While on school premises, at school related functions or within 1000 feet of school property,
Contractors and their Subcontractors, if any, must agree and certify to: (a) follow Georgia law,
Federal law and the District’s policies regarding drugs, controlled substances, marijuana and
weapons during the performance of the Contract; and (b) follow Georgia law, Federal law, and
the District’s policies regarding discrimination and harassment during the performance of this
Contract.
13. Provisions that Prohibit a Contractor’s Employee from Accepting a Position with the
District or Provisions which require the District to Comply with Contractor Regulations
(Including Union Rules)
Georgia law provides its citizens a “right to work” that allow individuals to refuse to participate
in labor organizations or refrain from certain affiliations. O.C.G.A. Sec. 34-6-21. This also means
that the District will not prohibit anyone from applying for a job with it. To prohibit an
individual’s right to seek to work for a governmental entity would violate Georgia law, Georgia
public policy and the due process provisions of the state and federal constitution.
14. Employment Eligibility Verification.
Rockdale County Public Schools Proposal No. 7221-198
Waste Disposal and Recycling RFP 40 Due: November 27, 2018, 10:00 a.m.
Contractor and Subcontractor compliance with Employment Eligibility Verification is
required by O.C.G.A. §13-10-91 and Rule 300-10-.02.
15. Sales by Board Members.
Board members may sell to the District provided fewer than 3 sources exist. If purchase
is equal to or greater than $10,000, the purchase from a Board member must be approved
by a Board majority in a public meeting with full disclosure and with the selling Board
member abstaining from the vote. O.C.G.A. §20 - 2-505.
16. Public Works Contracts.
All construction projects in excess of $100,000 must be awarded on competitive bids or
proposals. O.C.G.A. §20-2-520; O.C.G.A. §36-91-20.
17. U.S. Beef.
District must purchase U.S. beef if using government funds. O.C.G.A. §50-5-81.
18. Purchasing Preference for Georgia Products.
O.C.G.A. §20-2-500 Purchasing Preferences:
School districts shall give preference as far as may be reasonable and practicable to such
supplies, materials, equipment, and agricultural products as may be manufactured or
produced in Georgia. Such preference shall not sacrifice quality.
In determining whether such a preference is reasonable in any case where the value of a
contract for or purchase of such supplies, materials, equipment, or agricultural products
exceeds $100,000.00, the school district shall consider, among other factors, information
submitted by the bidder which may include the bidder’s estimate of the multiplier effect
on gross state domestic product and the effect on public revenues of the state and the
effect on public revenues of the District resulting from acceptance of a bid or offer to sell
Georgia manufactured or produced goods as opposed to out-of-state manufactured or
produced goods. Any such estimates shall be in writing. No school district shall divide a
contract or purchase which exceeds $100,000.00 for the purpose of avoiding these
requirements.
This preference shall not negate the requirements of O.C.G.A. § 50-5-73 regarding the
purchase of available items from the Georgia Correctional Industries Administration.
20. State Contracts.
Rockdale County Public Schools Proposal No. 7221-198
Waste Disposal and Recycling RFP 41 Due: November 27, 2018, 10:00 a.m.
For many goods and supplies commonly purchased by schools, the state secures
competitive bids and school systems may purchase those items at the state low bid price
from the vendors or companies. O.C.G.A. §20-2-168(b).
21. No Third Party Beneficiary.
While third parties may benefit from a contract with a school district, it is not the intent
of the district in any contract for a third party to become a beneficiary. Further, it is not
the intent of the district to confer a direct benefit upon a third party to protect the third
party from physical injury or damages. Donnalley v. Sterling, 274 Ga App 683, (2005).
If you have questions or comments about the above requirements please contact the Office of General
Counsel for Rockdale County Public Schools. If the questions or comments arise in anticipation of
submitting a bid or proposal or during a competitive process, the questions and comments must be in
writing. If appropriate, the questions or comments along with any response by General Counsel will be
shared with other parties.
In submitting bids or proposals, one may object to any contractual term. If one objects to a contractual
term, the basis of the objection must be given along with proposed alternative language if appropriate.
The District will give due consideration to any objection. However, if the District deems the objection
unacceptable, the objection must be withdrawn or the bid or proposal may be considered non-responsive
and rejected.
