FISCAL IMPACT:

$2,500,000 (100% User Fees); all costs are charged to the ordering departments through DoIT's billing process.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Information Technology requires the ability to readily purchase parts, supplies and equipment 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. EV-2370 solicited by the City of Kansas City, Missouri, terms February 1, 2018 - January 31, 2023 with an option to renew for (3) additional (2) year periods.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No. 611.0, blanket purchase orders in excess of $100,000 require Board of Supervisors approval. The County Administrator's Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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