Report Title: Blanket purchase order and participating addendum with Cintas Corporation No. 2
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, a blanket purchase order and participating addendum with Cintas Corporation No. 2, in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000, for facility management products and solutions, including garment rental and laundry services, fire and safety products, first aid products and janitorial products, during the period from March 22, 2022 through October 31, 2027, under the terms of a master contract awarded by the Prince William County Public School Board, as recommended by the Public Works Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Product costs are to be paid by County Departments. (100% User Departments)
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Purchasing Services is requesting approval of a blanket Purchase order to be used by all County departments for facility management products and solutions. The supplies and equipment are guaranteed through a master contract awarded by the Prince William Public School Board (#R-BB-19002) through the OMNIA Purchasing Cooperative Program. Approval of the purchase order and addendum between Contra Costa County and Cintas Corporation No. 2, allows the County to obtain guaranteed pricing available through the OMNIA Partners contract.
The purchase order will support all County departments with 10 to 50 percent off local book prices, early payment terms of a two percent discount if paid within 15 days of the invoice date, and no “Minimum Stop Charges” applied to this account. This will allow the County to consolidate purchases, and maximize savings on products acquired from Cintas Corporation No.2.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of the blanket purchase order and addendum, departments would select their own provided and we would not be eligible for volume discounts, thereby increasing costs by not taking advantage of cooperative purchasing discounts.
