RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval to renew annual contracts for safety supplies with U&D
Enterprises, Inc. and WW Grainger Industrial Supply.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds for this purchase are available in account 100-14111-0000 (General
Fund/Warehouse Inventory) in the estimated annual amount of $22,000.00.
BACKGROUND:
Bids were taken in accordance with the City Purchasing Policy. Formal bids and
advertisements are not required for purchases under $50,000.00. Three bids were
submitted. The contract was for an initial one-year period with four, one-year renewal
options. If approved, this will be the third renewal available.
The purpose of this contract is to establish fixed annual pricing for various types of
safety products and supplies to be purchased on an as -needed basis and stocked in the
warehouse. These items are used by all departments as -needed.
Based on the evaluation of the bid by Purchasing and the department's requirements, it
was determined that each vendor will be awarded their respective low bid items. U&D
Enterprises, Inc. has agreed to renew with no increase in pricing. WW Grainger
Industrial Supply has agreed to renew with an overall increase 2.5% due to increases in
transportation and raw materials used in the manufacturing of products they were
awarded.
Staff recommends approval.
