Explanation
BACKGROUND:
Need: The Division of Police needs to request that the Finance and Management Director modify and extend the contract for the second year lease for two (2) high volume copy machines and one (1) color copier for the Division's Print Shop. These machines are needed for the high volume of copying, 400,000 - 500,000 copies per month, for the entire division.

Bid Information: Formal Bid # SA002263 was opened on January 4, 2007. The Division of Police recommended award to Gordon Flesch Company Inc. in the amount of $106,668.00 for the first twelve months of a thirty-six month lease and maintenance. This request is for the second year in the amount of $50,000.00.

Contract Compliance No.: 390993125, expires 01/22/2009

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.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is needed to give sufficient time for the extension to be completed without a lapse in the contract period.

FISCAL IMPACT: $95,000.00 is budgeted in the General Fund for the lease of copiers for the Division of Police. Although $106,668.00 was encumbered in 2007, currently only $44,062.00 has been expended on that encumbrance. The contract period will expire in April 2008, and thus, the request for the second year of the lease is $50,000.00.
