W. GRAINGER  $1,372,500.00 - General, Enterprise and Other Funds

Background:

S24836-A1 - Amend Council Motion 2014-0451, passed May 28, 2014, to increase the spending authority from $7,648,808.75 to $9,021,308.75 for industrial supplies and equipment, janitorial supplies and equipment from the State of Texas Building and Procurement Commission's Contract for various departments.

 

Specific Explanation:

The City Purchasing Agent recommends that City Council amend Council Motion 2014-0451, to increase the spending authority from $7,648,808.75 to $9,021,308.75 for industrial supplies and equipment, janitorial supplies and equipment from the State of Texas Building Procurement Commission's Contract through the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program contract from the State contract supplier W. W. Grainger for various departments.

 

Council Motion 2014-0451, passed May 28, 2014, provided authorization to utilize the State of Texas Building Commission's Contract for a 34-month term in an amount not to exceed $7,648,808.75.  Since implementation of the Marketplace application, there has been increased awareness of awards/contracts available for departments to utilize.  This knowledge has resulted in increased purchases by the City departments and has eliminated Maverick purchasing.  Additionally, the number of departments initially utilizing this contract has increased from 13 to 22.  The additional spending authority is required for the Departments added to the contract and will enable all Departments to continue to make purchases through the remainder of the contract term.  

 

Expenditures as of November 23, 2015 totaled $4,997,071.95.  All other terms and conditions shall remain as previously approved by City Council.

 

This award consists of miscellaneous industrial supplies and equipment, janitorial supplies, and products such as motors, lighting, electrical equipment, pumps, material handling equipment, fasteners, heating equipment, blowers, ventilators and other industrial-type items used by City personnel in their day to day work activities.

 

Hire Houston First:

This procurement is exempt from the City's Hire Houston First Ordinance.  Bids/proposals were not solicited because the department is utilizing a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement for this purchase.

 

Attachment:  MWBE zero-percent goal document approval by the Office of Business Opportunity.
