RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Chief Information Officer, a blanket purchase order amendment with Graybar Electric Company to increase the payment limit by $500,000 to a new payment limit of $2,000,000 for the procurement of radio and telecommunications equipment as needed, for the period January 1 through December 31, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$2,000,000 (100% User Fees); Costs are charged to the ordering department through DoIT's billing process.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the action is not approved, DoIt will not have the necessary means to process and pay anticipated expenses through the Blanket Purchase Order.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Information Technology's Telecommunications and Radio divisions need to be able to readily purchase parts and supplies, in order to complete Work Order requests and other jobs submitted by their customers. The pricing is pursuant to U.S. Communities Contract Master Agreement NO. MA-IS-1-040222-6 solicited by the County of Los Angeles, California, expiration date December 31, 2014 with the option to renew for (1) additional one (1) year period.

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No. 611.0, County departments are required to get Board approval for single item purchases of $100,000. The County Administrator's Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.
