RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the attached Blanket Purchase Order Activity Report detailing blanket purchase order activity by County departments for the period July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact associated with acceptance of the report.

BACKGROUND:

In October 2006, the Board of Supervisors accepted a report from the Finance Committee of the Board on the current practices and procedures for processing blanket purchase orders and directed the Purchasing Agent/Director of General Services to provide semi-annual reports to the Board of Supervisors detailing all blanket purchase order activity by department by expenditure.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

A blanket purchase order is a contractual agreement, issued on an annual or multi-year basis, which provides for procurement of goods, services, maintenance services, or equipment rentals on an as-needed basis with a stipulated maximum amount for a fixed period of time. Blanket purchase orders are used when there will be on-going activity with a vendor to enable departments to order goods and services as needed throughout the fiscal year without having to request a new purchase order in each instance.

The attached Blanket Purchase Order Activity Report is provided to comply with the Board’s semi-annual reporting direction and summarizes the blanket purchase order activity for County departments for the period July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. There were 684 blanket purchase orders issued during the reporting period totaling $40,628,898.
