Title
Dollar-Limit Increase to the Term Contract for Office Supplies as requested by the Purchasing Division (Citywide)
Mesa was the lead agency on this cooperative contract first approved by Council in September 2009. The contract provides next-day, desktop-delivery of office and classroom supplies on an as-needed basis to various City of Mesa departments, valley school districts and other members of Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE) purchasing cooperative. Approximately 103 agencies are currently utilizing Mesa's contract with WIST with a combined spend of over $7 million.
Purchasing and WIST agreed on a six-month contract extension through March 31, 2015 to allow the City and the cooperative agencies to work on a new solicitation. The dollar increase is needed for the City's purchases through that period.
Purchasing recommends authorizing a dollar-limit increase of $275,000 with WIST Office Products, increasing the contract from $800,000 to $1,075,000, for City of Mesa purchases, based on estimated requirements.
