FILE NUMBER
Approve the second-year funding of a two-year contract with Software House
International in the amount of $125,000.
DISCUSSION
The City establishes contracts with vendors who provide supplies that are
required on a consistent basis in order to provide quality products at a
significant savings based on quantity pricing. All City departments
require computer printer cartridges and zip drives in daily business
operations. Currently, the City purchases over 300 different printer
cartridges ranging in value from $21.78 to $364.24.
On October 16, 2006, the City Council awarded a contract to Software House
International for a two-year period with provision for two, one-year
renewals. The first-year award, in the amount of $79,730.55, was based upon
prior departmental usage. However, in order to provide printer cartridges
at current anticipated volume, staff recommends increasing the authorized
dollar amount to $125,000 for the second year of the contract. There will
be no increase in item cost.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the various departmental Other Materials & Supplies
accounts (object code 6391)
