DATE: ° � County SUBJECT: Approval of Contract with Metropolitan Van and Storage, Inc. for Election Services SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION APPROVE and AU THORIZE the County Clerk-Recorder to execute a three-year contract with Metropolitan Van and Storage, Inc. for delivery, set up, take dawn, and return to storage of election equipment for the period of January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2001 in the amount of$410,000. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The costs associated with this contract are anticipated expenses and are currently budgeted and continue to be budgeted each year as associated elections costs of the Election Division of the County Clerk-Recorder Department. Over 50°lig of these drayage costs will ultimately be reimbursed by agencies as part of their"billable election costs", so the Inaximum net county exposure is anticipated to be approximately $200,000. The biggest impact will take place during calendar year 2000, with the March Presidential Primary and November Presidential General Elections. REASONS FORRECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: This request is for renewal of an existing contract with !Metropolitan Van and Storage, Inc. In 1996, we approached this vendor on very short notice (90 days before the November 1990 election) in coniunction with General Services, who utilized them for other County moving and drayage services. Metropolitan was able to immediately take over and provide superior service at an approximately 30% savings in drayage costs over our previous vendor. We have just completed a one year short term contract with Metropolitan and are requesting a three year extension to "lock in" favorable terms and costs with a proven vendor.
