Report Title: Blanket Purchase Order Amendment with AAA Business Supplies and Interiors, Countywide
☒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 AAA Business Supplies and Interiors to increase the payment limit by $1,500,000 to a new payment limit of $4,500,000 with no change to the term, for standard office supplies under terms of a master contract awarded by Region 4 Education Service Center (ESC) through the OMNIA Cooperative Program
FISCAL IMPACT:
This blanket purchase order (BPO) amendment will increase the payment limit by $1,500,000 for the remainder of its term. Product costs are paid by County Departments. (100% Department User Fees).
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County’s Purchasing Services is requesting to add funds to the existing BPO (No. 021954) with AAA Business Supplies and Interiors which is used by all County Departments for access to office supplies. The supplies and services are guaranteed through a master contract awarded by Region 4 Education Service Center (ESC) through the OMNIA Cooperative Program.
On March 23,2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a BPO between the County and AAA Business Supplies and Interiors. Approving this request to increase the payment limit on the existing BPO will allow the County to continue to obtain guaranteed pricing through the term of the Omnia Partner agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of additional funds, pending invoices submitted to the Auditor’s office cannot be processed and County Departments will not have access to the products from AAA Business Supplies and Interiors.
