Bid Advertisements

Plano ISD publishes its bid advertisements in the Plano Star Courier to meet Texas state bid law requirements. This ensures that the date, time, and place of bid openings are publicly accessible, as required by competitive procurement regulations. Companies or individuals who see these notices can review full bid specifications through the district’s electronic bidding platform, IonWave.

Certificate of Interested Parties –

1295 Form

House Bill 1295 (2015) added Texas Government Code §2252.908, from entering into which prohibits a governmental entity specific contracts unless the awarded vendor submits a Form 1295 disclosing all “interested parties.”

A vendor must file Form 1295 when:

  • The contract requires an action or vote by the governing body before it can be signed, or

  • The contract is valued at $1 million or more, or

  • The contract is for services requiring lobbyist registration under Government Code Chapter 305.

The form must be completed electronically through the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) filing system, then printed, signed,  and submitted to the governmental entity (Plano ISD Purchasing Department). The TEC does not accept 1295 forms directly.
