Empire Paper Company for janitorial supplies.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are available in account 100 - 14111 -000 -0 (General Fund /Inventory /Warehouse)
for the estimated budgeted amount of $24,000.00.
BACKGROUND:
Bids were taken in accordance with Local Government Code Chapter 252, Subchapter
B, Section 252.021 (a) and Section 252.041 (a). The bid was advertised in the Fort
Worth Star Telegram on October 22 and 29, 2009. The contract was for an initial one -
year period with four one -year renewal options. If approved this would be for the fourth
and final renewal option.
The purpose of this bid is to establish fixed annual pricing for the purchase of janitorial
supplies and paper products on an as needed basis to be stocked in the Warehouse.
These products are used primarily by the Facility Services Division of Public Works and
may be used by other departments as needed.
Council approved awarding the contract to Empire Paper Company on November 17,
2009. Empire Paper Company has agreed to renew the contract with an overall price
increased 7% due to an increase in cost of raw materials, transportation and energy
used in the manufacturing of items. Empire Paper Company has provided this service in
the past with satisfactory results.
Staff recommends approval.
