The term of the proposed option contract will be three years with an option to renew for one additional year if mutually agreed. Contract expiration date is April 30, 2007.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA001170). Formal bids were opened on July 1, 2004. Thirty (MAJ:26, M1A:4, F1:0) bids solicited; two (MAJ:2) bids received.

Both companies are not debarred according to the Federal Excluded Parties Listing or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery database.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than thirty-seven days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.
