1. Contracts awarded only via sealed competitive bidding by prequalified bidders.
2. Specific prioritized Project List with estimated cost for each project and a commitment to build the projects in the prioritized order promised.
3. Commit 3% of general fund budget for facilities maintenance for life of bond.
4. Not more than 20% of bond dollars can be spent on items with useful life of less than bond term.
5. Not more than 33% of bond dollars can be used for soft costs (i.e. Cost of bond issuance, Architectural/Engineering Fees, Management, Division of State Architect fees/costs, inspection and/or consultants. District will pay from costs in excess of 33% from sources other than bonded debt).
