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
FundM/arehouse Inventory) in the estimated annual amount of $21,000.00.
BACKGROUND:
Bids were taken in accordance with the City Purchasing Policy. Formal bids and
advertisements are not required for purchases under $50,000.00. RFB 388 -2012 was
issued through the City eBid system and three bids were submitted. The contract was
for an initial one -year period with four one -year renewal options. If approved, this will be
for the second renewal of the four one -year renewal options 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 the award be made to each vendor for the items they submitted low
bids on. 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.
