BACKGROUND:
Caltronics Business Systems was selected as a result of the competitive bid process held by Contra Costa County Public Works on behalf of all County departments. On July 23, 2019, your Board approved and authorized the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the County, Master Agreement MFD-MA 2019-02 with J.J.R. Enterprises, Inc., dba Caltronics Business Systems for copier rentals and managed print services between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2030, as recommended by the Public Works Director.
The Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department, approved Purchase Order #F018102 with Caltronics Business Systems with a payment limit of $199,900, for the term February 20, 2020, through February 19, 2023. The Department is requesting approval to increase the payment limit by $150,000 to $349,900.
The Community Services Bureau of the Employment and Human Services Department is using Caltronics Business Systems for copier rentals and managed print services at its administrative office and childcare sites. The request to increase the payment limit by $150,000 is to fund the cost of the copier rentals and managed print services for the full term of Purchase Order #F08102.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without this increase amount, Community Services Bureau will not be able to reimburse Caltronics Business Systems for services already rendered.
