RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order with W.W. Grainger, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $900,000, for miscellaneous parts, tools and supplies for the period August 1, 2019 through July 31, 2021, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Public Works Facilities Services and Road Maintenance budgets.












BACKGROUND:

W.W. Grainger Inc. (Grainger) provides thousands of supplies, tools, parts and equipment to Public Works. Many divisions of Public Works such as Facilities, Fleet, and Custodial Services along with Road Maintenance use Grainger for a number of small tools, parts, and equipment on a regular basis. Grainger has been awarded a contract through the Oregon NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement No. 8496,which the State of California, Department of General Services entered into a Participating Addendum (Number 7-18-51-02) which allows the County to use the States Participating Addendum for purchases of parts, supplies, tools and small equipment. Utilizing such a government contract guarantees the County fair pricing and exceptional service. In the previous one-year purchase order with Grainger, nearly $400,000 was spent. This purchase order is for a two-year period.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, parts, tools, equipment, and supplies will not be purchased at government pricing from W.W Grainger.
