Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the City Attorney to modify and extend an existing contract with Cintas Document Management LLC for the provision of record storage, retrieval and destruction services. This provider was selected by the City Attorney following the recommendation of a staff committee that reviewed and evaluated proposals offered by Cintas Document Management LLC, Fireproof Record Center and Iron Mountain Information Management.
The original contract was renewable up to three years for a maximum amount of $19,000.00; the second year authorized by Ordinance 0794-2010 was for a maximum amount of $19,000.00. The third year of the contract authorized by ordinance 0745-2011 was for a maximum amount of $16,000.00 bringing the total authorized amount to $54,000.00.
This modification will extend the term for an additional eight months to 02/28/2013 and increase the amount by an additional $16,000.00 for a new maximum contact amount of $70,000.00. The cost for the services will remain the same. This extension is needed due to the move of the City Attorney's offices currently located at City Hall and 109 North Front Street to 120 West Gay Street. This move will result in major changes in the amount of onsite storage space available therefore possibly requiring more and different offsite storage services as well as additional destruction costs.
This modification will afford enough time to complete the move, evaluate the offsite storage needs and prepare specifications for a new contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Term: 07/01/12 through 02/28/13
Maximum Cost: $16,000.00
Funds are included in the City Attorney's 2012 approved general fund budget.
