FILE NUMBER
Renew the contract to W.W. Grainger, Inc. for the purchase of landscaping, hand tools and
miscellaneous items for a one-year period in an annual amount not to exceed $45,000.
DISCUSSION
City departments require an assortment of tools such as saws, hammers, screwdrivers, shovels and
rakes in order to perform general maintenance. The items are purchased through the Central Stores
warehouse for distribution to the various departments. The contracts for landscaping and 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 that are not available from
Central Stores.
On August 3, 2009, the City Council awarded to W.W. Grainger, Inc., a Santa Ana vendor, a contract
for a one-year period, with provisions for four one-year renewals. The vendor has performed
satisfactorily during the past contract period and offers the City pricing through the Western State's
Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract. Staff recommends the second renewal of the contract, at a
reduction of $10,000 from amount expended in the current contract year.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the various departmental Operating Materials and Supplies accounts (63001).
