HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06172014 - C.87RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director,
a purchase order amendment with WW Grainger Co., to increase the payment limit by $270,000 to a new payment
limit of $420,000, and extend the termination date from July 31, 2014 to July 31, 2015, for miscellaneous parts,
small tools and supplies, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This cost is to be funded through Facilities Maintenance Fiscal Year FY 13/14 and FY 14/15 budgets. (100% General
Fund)
BACKGROUND:
WW Grainger Co. (Grainger) provides thousands of supplies, tools, parts and equipment to Facilities in a next-day
format. Grainger has been awarded a contract through Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract number
1824, which allows Facilities to utilize them for purchases of parts, supplies, tools and small equipment. Utilizing
such a government contract guarantees the County fair pricing and exceptional service. Last year, Facilities ran short
of money on this order at $160,000. This year the cost is expected to be a bit higher partly due to Public Works Road
Maintenance being added to their projected costs.
