RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, a blanket purchase order amendment with Federal Express (“FEDEX”) to increase the payment limit by $100,000, to a new payment limit of $299,500, with no change to the term, for courier services under terms of a master contract awarded by the University of California, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This purchase order will increase the spending limit by $100,000 for the remainder of the effective term. Product costs are paid by County Departments. (100% User Departments)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval of additional funds, County Departments will not have access to courier services with Federal Express.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Purchasing Services is requesting to add funds to an existing blanket purchase order (No. 020708) with Federal Express (“FEDEX”), which is used by all County Departments for access to courier services. The services are guaranteed through a master contract awarded by University of California (UC), through the OMNIA Cooperative Program. Approving this request to increase the payment limit on the existing BPO will allow the County to continue to obtain guaranteed pricing through the term of the Omnia Partner agreement.
