RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a blanket purchase order with AAA Business Supplies and Interiors, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, for office products and supplies to be used throughout the County, for the period March 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Office supply costs to be paid by County Departments. (100% Department User Fees)

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Purchasing Services is requesting approval of a blanket purchase order to be used by County departments for the ordering of office products and supplies. Prices are based on the Omnia Partners Cooperative Purchasing Contract #R190301. The blanket purchase order covering all departments will allow the County to consolidate purchases, and maximize savings.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without a blanket purchase order in place, departments would select their own office supply vendors, thereby increasing costs by not taking advantage of cooperative purchasing discounts.
