The term of the proposed option contract would be two (2) years, expiring June 30, 2011, with the option to renew for one (1) additional year. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on February 26, 2009.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA003170). Ten (10) bids were solicited: (M1A-0, F1-0, MBR-0). One bid was received.
The sole bidder is acceptable, however they did not bid on Items 1, 2, 19, 40 and 70. Those items will be purchased on an informal basis if the need arises. The Purchasing Office is recommending award to the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidder:

The company is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search. This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Mail, Print Services and UTC Fund Account. City Agencies will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
