REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION: At the request of Department of Transportation, the Procurement and Contracts division issued an Invitation to Bid for Polymer Modified Rejuvenating Emulsion. The emulsion is used for repairing and maintaining roads throughout El Dorado County. Seventeen (17) invitations to bid were mailed: two (2) qualified responses were received. No local vendors provide this product. Vendor "A" has a cheaper unit price, but the "Terms" discount of 10% if paid in twenty (20) days by vendor "B" makes this vendor's net cost the best deal for the County. The Procurement & Contracts division has been informed by the Department of Transportation that these payment discounts will be utilized.
FISCAL IMPACT/CHANGE TO NET COUNTY COST: Procurement and Contracts has been advised that funding is available within the Department of Transportation's Road Fund budget.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN FOLLOWING APPROVAL: Following Board approval, the Procurement and Contracts division will issue a blanket purchase order in the amount of $780,000.00 to Telfer Oil Company of Martinez, CA.
