Reason For Recommendation
At the request of the Sheriff and Probation Departments, the Procurement and Contracts Division issued Invitation to Bid 13-345-007 for the purchase of Institutional Clothing, Bedding, and Toiletries. On 09/27/12 the Purchasing Agent awarded the bid to the low qualified bidders, Bob Barker Company in the amount of $50,000.00 and to Robinson Textiles in the amount of $20,000 for a twelve month award period expiring on 09/24/2013. On 6/12/13 the Purchasing Agent increased Bob Barker Company's BP by $19,500.00 for a new total of $69,500.00 for anticipated future purchases by Departments. Both Bob Baker Company and Robinson Textiles have agreed to extend the Bid with the same pricing, terms and conditions of the original bid.
The agenda item is before the Board for approval becasue the Bid extension and increase will bring the total contract amount over $100,000.00, thus exceeding the Purchasing Agent's authority. The Purchasing Agent has determined that it is more beneficial to maintain the pricing of the current bid rather than issue a new one.
Action to be taken following Board approval
The Procurement and Contracts Division will extend the blanket purchase orders (BP20130171 to Bob Barker Company and BP20130172 to Robinson Textiles) for one additional twelve month term and increase both Blanket Purchase Orders in the amount of $75,000.00, to Bob Barker Company in the amount of $65,000.00 and to Robinson Textiles in the amount of $10,000.00 to for a new contract total of $164,500.00 ($134,500 for Bob Barker and $30,000.00 for Robinson Textiles).
