RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Public Works Department, to execute a purchase order (33977) with Kelly Paper to increase the payment limit by $400,000 to a new payment limit of $800,000 for recycled copy paper, and extend the term for two years through January 24, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of paper is charged back to user departments. Print & Mail Services is a zero net county cost operation.

BACKGROUND:

Recycled paper is purchased in volume and is used by departments and the Print & Mail division for printing and copies. Departments place orders for blank recycled paper through Print & Mail and the paper is delivered directly by Kelly Paper. This allows the County to purchase in bulk without having to maintain an inventory. Prices based on BidSync Bid #1004-004.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, costs for paper may increase.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
