Report Title: Blanket Purchase Order Amendment with Federal Express
☒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 amendment with Federal Express to extend the effective end date, with no change to the payment limit for courier services under the terms of the master contract awarded by the University of California, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This purchase order extension will allow for continued service to an existing blanket purchase order (No.020708) with Federal Express (“FEDEX”), through July 31, 2025. Product costs are paid by County Departments. (100% User Departments)
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa Purchasing Services is requesting an extension to an existing blanket purchase order (NO.020708) with Federal Express (“FEDEX”), which is used by all County Departments for access to courier services. The services are guaranteed through a master contract awarded by the University of California (UC), through the OMNIA Cooperative Program. Approving this request to extend the effective date on the existing PO will allow the County to continue to obtain guaranteed pricing through July 31, 2025.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of the purchase order extension, County Departments will not have access to the services provided by FEDEX.
