P06-E26312.A1 - Amend Council Motion 2017-0745, passed December 19, 2017, to increase the spending authority from $6,219,794.46 to $7,129,175.25 for the purchase of Maintenance, Repair, Operating Supplies, Industrial Supplies, and Related Products and Services through the Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with OMNIA Partners (formally U.

The Chief Procurement Officer recommends that City Council amend Council Motion No. 2017-0745 to increase the spending authority from $6,219,794.46 to $7,129,175.25. for the purchase of Maintenance, Repair, Operating Supplies (MRO), Industrial Supplies, and related products and services awarded to Home Depot, U.S.A., Inc. for various city departments - 

This award began January 23, 2018 for a 36-month period with two one-year options to renew in the amount not to exceed $6,219,794.46.  Expenditures as of August 9, 2022 totaled $5,360,059.17. All other terms and conditions shall remain as previously approved by City Council.  

 Spending authority is being exhausted earlier than anticipated due to the increase in MRO supplies, industrial supplies, and related products and services over the past few years. The additional spending authority will enable the departments to continue to make purchases through the remainder of the current award, which expires January 22, 2023. It is anticipated that a new award will be presented to City Council prior to expiration of the current award.

The MICPA with OMNIA Partners' Lead Public Agency contractor provides MRO supplies, industrial supplies, and related products and services for the City's various departments. The use of the MICPA allows the City to leverage numerous existing U.S. governmental contacts with over 38,000 participating agencies with an estimated purchasing power value of $1.5 billion annually. By participating in the MICPA, the City will (1) have access to 178 Texas store locations, which include 19 Houston store locations (2) receive volume rebate incentives paid annually (3) have access to the volume pricing program and (4) receive additional deep discounts by leveraging its buying power through Home Depot’s pro-bid room.
