§ 20-27-4-6 — Manner of purchase

(a) The purchase of a school bus shall be made
in the same manner as provided by law for the purchase of school
supplies by a school corporation.
(b) If a school bus is purchased under a security agreement, the
required notice to bidders or solicitation of bids must set:
(1) the length of time the security agreement shall run; and
(2) the terms of the security agreement, including the security
agreement price and interest rate.
(c) The low bid for a security agreement shall be determined by
adding to each bidding price the net interest cost and then comparing
the totals of the price and interest on each bid. A separate statement of
each price shall be made to enable the governing body to determine the
advisability of purchasing a school bus under a security agreement.
