DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Chief Administrative Office, Procurement and Contracts Division, monitors, maintains, and serves as the contract administrator for a countywide contract for the provision of confidential document and e-waste destruction services. Viking Shred LLC has provided these services for County departments on the Western Slope since 2020. On April 26, 2022, the Purchasing Agent executed contract 6429 with Viking Shred LLC for a two-year term of May 06, 2022 through May 05, 2024 with a contract value of $75,800.
