The original blanket agreement ran from October 1, 2015, through December 31, 2019. The waiver of Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) is being sought as a result of the three-year maximum contract term's having been exceeded.

The Administration is not requesting an increase in funds for this four-month extension.

This contract extension will run from February 1, 2020, through May 31, 2020.
Fiscal Impact Statement: There shall be no fiscal impact associated with this extension due to funds that were previously approved by the Board remaining on this contract.
