RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order with Neopost Inc. for a DS-1200 Intelligent Inserting System to be used by Print and Mail Services in the amount of $346,798.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost will initially be charged to the General Fund Fixed Assets account and recovered through charges to Contra Costa County Departments for inserting services.
BACKGROUND:
The current equipment for Print and Mail Services has reached the end of its life-cycle and manufacturing parts are no longer available. The Neopost DS-1200 has the ability to insert all envelope sizes we use, thereby reducing the amount of manual labor and the potential for human errors. The inserter on the upgraded equipment operates at a faster speed which will reduce time spent on large jobs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this request is not approved the cost of mailing for the Contra Costa County departments will increase.
