RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Metropolitan Van and Storage Inc., in an amount not to exceed $700,000 to provide archival records storage, and office furniture and equipment storage, for the period February 1, 2020 through January 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase expenditures by up to $700,000, and will be paid out of Administrative Overhead (5% County, 51% State, 44% Federal).

BACKGROUND:

Contractor has been providing archival records storage and furniture storage services to the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) for a number of years. Contractor stores, retrieves, and maintains EHSD files. Contract also provides storage space for office furniture and equipment. Contractor continues to provide services in an acceptable manner.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In 2009, EHSD issued a Request For Proposal (RFP) for archival records and furniture storage. At that time, the Contractor stored over 200,000 cartons of stored media (80,00 individual files). The department discovered, as a result of this RFP, that the cost to move files and furniture to another facility would be cost prohibitive including such costs as a fee of $3.00 per box to pull cartons (approximately $600,000), stocking fees of new contract, and charges of new contractor to enter inventory into a computer system. EHSD determined that for the immediate future, it will be more cost effective to continue with the current contractor.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD will be unable to enter into this contract to maintain archival records.
