☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, an amendment to a blanket purchase order with Ennis-Flint, Inc, effective June 24, 2025, to extend the term through October 31, 2027, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No Fiscal Impact, as this amendment is only to extend the term.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Public Works Department maintains over 650 miles of roads, 79 miles of creeks and channels, and 29 detention basins and dams throughout Contra Costa County.
On June 28, 2022, the County issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) 2206-573 to solicit for vendors to supply paint for traffic stripes and pavement markings. Two vendors responded: Ennis-Flint, Inc and International Coatings Co, Inc. Each vendor provided the lowest prices, so it was determined that a purchase order would be issued to each vendor.
On October 25, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved the execution of a blanket purchase order # 026420 with Ennis-Flint, Inc. for the purchase of traffic striping material and paint for road maintenance work.
This blanket purchase order amendment will extend the term through October 31, 2027. Approval of this blanket purchase order amendment will allow the Public Works Department to continue to purchase traffic striping material and paint.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the blanket purchase order amendment will prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine and emergency road maintenance in a timely manner
