TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to increase the existing Blanket Purchase Order Agreement No. BPLB08000010 with Vista Paint, Inc., by adding $65,000 for the purchase of paint, including marine paint and related supplies, bringing the annual amount to $160,000. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested authorizing the City Manager to increase the existing agreement with Vista Paint, Inc. by adding $65,000 to the existing purchase order to accommodate the purchase of paint and related supplies, thus bringing the annual amount to a total not to exceed $160,000.
This is a Citywide blanket purchase order utilized by various departments: Airport, Community Development, Gas and Oil, Fire, Harbor, Parks, Recreation and Marine, Public Works, and Water to purchase paint (including marine paint) for various projects. Recently, Parks, Recreation and Marine experienced an increase in paint expenditures related to graffiti abatement that was not originally forecasted in the previous annual amount. This demand should be mitigated when Parks, Recreation and Marine is added under the City's current graffiti abatement contract.
Contract Backqround
This contract was an informal competitive bid with an original term of December 13, 2007 to December 13, 2008, in the amount of $100,000 with the approval by the City Manager. The award was made to Vista Paint, Inc., of Fullerton, CA (not a MBE, WBE, local or SBE).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Amy R. Burton on October 12, 2009 and Budget and Performance Management Bureau Manager David Wodynski on October 19, 2009.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on November 3, 2009 to ensure additional funds are added expeditiously.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding for the increased spending authorization of $65,000 is currently budgeted in various departments and funds.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
