| Advisory opinion request as to whether the Pointe Coupee Parish School Board may transact business with Scott Fence Company. |
|
|
The Pointe Coupee Parish School Board (School Board) directed Andrew Duhe, the Director of Maintenance and Support Services, to advertise requests for bids for a fence project for the Livonia High School Campus. Scott Fence Company submitted the lowest bid. The sales representative for Scott Fence Company is David Bueche, the husband of Lacey Bueche, the Director of the Accountability and IT Department with the School Board. David Bueche has no ownership interest in Scott Fence Company, but he will receive a commission if Scott Fence Company is awarded the contract. The Superintendent will make a recommendation to the School Board as to bids submitted for the project, and Mr. Duhe would be responsible for supervising and accepting the completed work.
