SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action to approve appropriation and continuance of the Blanket Agreement with V-Quest of Georgetown, Texas to provide office supplies and services for FY2020 through the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) Contract #11-18 in an amount not to exceed $95,000.00 -- Rosemary Ledesma, Purchasing Manager
ITEM SUMMARY:
Appropriation and continuance of this blanket purchase order agreement with American Office Products Distributors, Inc. (AOPD) through their distributor, V-Quest under the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) will allow the City of Georgetown to take advantage of lower prices for continuous supply of office supplies and related services. Items are to be ordered on an as needed basis by departments City-wide, and bulk items will be stocked in the Warehouse.

This action requests approval for a not-to-exceed amount of $95,000 for the 2020 fiscal year to V-Quest. V-Quest is the current supplier of these items and a local vendor, authorized under the NCPA contract to provide office supplies and services. These items are ordered by City departments through the NCPA Contract #11-18, a three year contract term of 5/1/2017 through 5/31/2020, with five possible one-year renewals.

According to Texas Local Government Code 271.102 (c), the City satisfies any state laws requiring the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of goods and services when purchasing under Subchapter F. Cooperative Purchasing Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated not to exceed total for this blanket agreement is $95,000. Funds for this expenditure are budgeted in the individual departments.
