FILE NUMBER
Renew the contract with W.W. Grainger, Inc. for the purchase of hand tools and miscellaneous items
for a one-year period in an annual amount not to exceed $30,000.
DISCUSSION
In order to perform general maintenance, various City departments require an assortment of tools
such as saws, hammers, screwdrivers, shovels and rakes. The items are purchased through the
Central Stores warehouse for distribution to the various departments. The contracts for hand tools
are designed to provide quality products at significant savings based on quantity pricing. In addition,
the City also establishes contracts for miscellaneous items including tools for items that are not
available from the Central Stores warehouse.
On August 3, 2009, the City Council awarded to W.W. Grainger, Inc., a Santa Ana vendor, a contract
for one-year period, with provisions for four one-year renewals. W.W. Grainger, Inc. offers pricing
through the Western State's Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract. The vendor has performed
satisfactorily during the past contract period and staff recommends the first renewal of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the various departmental Operating Materials and Supplies accounts (63001).
