HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 04212015 - C.45RECOMMENDATION(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 $100,000 to a new payment
limit of $520,000 for miscellaneous parts, small tools and supplies, for the period August 1, 2013 through July 31,
2015, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This cost is to be funded through Facilities Services Fiscal Year 14/15, 15/16 budgets. (100% General Fund)
BACKGROUND:
WW Grainger Co. (Grainger) provides thousands of supplies, tools, parts and equipment to the Public Works
Facilities Division in a next-day format. Grainger has been awarded a contract through the 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 $200,000. This year, the cost is expected
to be a bit higher partly due to Public Works Road Maintenance being added to their projected costs.
