Report Title: Amendment to Participating Addendum and Blanket Purchase Order with HD Supply Facilities Maintenance, LP.
☒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, an amendment to a participating addendum and a blanket purchase order with HD Supply Facilities Maintenance, LP, to increase the payment limit by $3,400,000, to a new payment limit of $6,500,000 with no change to the term, for cleaning supplies, and equipment, under terms of a Master Contract awarded by Fresno Unified School District, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Product costs paid by County Departments (100% User Departments)
BACKGROUND:
On February 7, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved entering into a participating addendum with HD Supply Facilities Maintenance, LP, to make purchases of custodial supplies, equipment, and related materials under a cooperative purchasing agreement awarded by Fresno Unified School District and made available to public agencies nationally through Omnia Partners Cooperative Purchasing Program. Under the participating addendum, the County is able to make purchases for competitive pricing. Products purchased under the addendum include but are not limited to: chemicals; dilution control chemicals; skin care; industrial paper and dispensers; carpet care; restroom care; waste receptables; trash can liners; machines and parts & accessories; institutional and industrial laundry and kitchen; industrial tools and supplies; cleaning tools; miscellaneous air quality products, green and sustainable items; and all other categories in Supplier’s full line of products and services.
The participating addendum is effective through October 31, 2025. The participating addendum includes a payment limit of $3.1 million. Due to the County’s greater than anticipated need for custodial supplies, equipment, and related materials, Purchasing Services requires an increase to the payment limit of the participating addendum, to enable County departments to make purchases through the term of the participating addendum. Purchasing Services recommends increasing the payment limit by $3.4 million, for a new payment limit of $6.5 million, with no change to the term of the agreement. The same increase will be made to the blanket purchase order through an amendment to the blanket purchase order.
Approval of this amendment will allow HD Supply to continue to provide the County with discounted products and no interruption.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of this amendment, the County would pay full price for the supplies, with no purchasing incentives.
