AMEND MOTION #2018-0333, 06/27/2018, TO INCREASE spending authority from $5,986,000.00 to $6,401,438.56 for purchase of Scientific Products for Various Departments, awarded to PACIFIC STAR CORPORATION - Enterprise and Other Funds

S26335.A1 - Amend Council Motion 2018-0333, passed June 27, 2018, to increase the spending authority from $5,986,000.00 to $6,401,438.56 for the purchase of scientific products for various departments.

Specific Explanation:

The Interim Chief Procurement Officer recommends that City Council amend Council Motion No. 2018-0333 to increase the spending authority for the purchase of scientific products awarded to Pacific Star Corporation from $5,986,000.00 to $6,401,438.56. The additional spending authority will enable the departments to continue to make purchases until a new award is presented to City Council and will ensure the departments will have on-hand the necessary laboratory and emergency equipment to conduct City business.

This award began July 10, 2018 for a 36-month period with two one-year options to renew in the amount not to exceed $5,986,000.00. Expenditures as of October 3, 2022 totaled $5,897,246.14. All other terms and conditions shall remain as previously approved by City Council.

After the award, the increased cost of supplies and requirements over the past years has depleted the spending authority faster than anticipated. Pacific Star Corporation is an essential vendor to the City for providing necessary laboratory and emergency equipment which includes but is not limited to needles, gloves, respirators, laboratory testing reagents, safety products, sealants, microscope slides, centrifuge tubes, and consumable supplies. These supplies are critical in the day-to-day operations of the various departments.

MWBE Participation:

This solicitation was issued with a 3% M/WBE participation goal. Pacific Star Corporation is currently achieving 3.80%. The Office of Business Opportunity will continue to monitor the Prime's good-faith efforts for this award.
