<br />Both firms submitted bids that were similar based on all but pricing. Corporate Express' bid <br />included prices substantially below those offered by Office Depot. (A copy of Corporate <br />Express' bid is included as Attachment A.) Based on this review, staff is recommending the <br />Council award the purchase order to Corporate Express. <br /> <br />The purchase order has a term of one year, with the option of renewing each year for the <br />following three years. The maximum yearly value of the purchase order is $180,000. The <br />purchase order does not bind the City to use Corporate Express as our only vendor for office <br />supplies and it is anticipated that there may be certain situations where the City will use services <br />from another vendor. Further, while Corporate Express is required to provide supplies at the <br />rates included in their proposal, the City will require written quotes prior to purchasing specialty <br />items and depending on the quotes, we may seek other bids. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />The maximum financial impact of this purchase order is $180,000 annually to cover the cost of <br />office supplies included in the City Budget. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Attachment A: Copy of Corporate Express' Bid <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br />~~~ <br /> <br />Lorie Tinfow <br />Administrative Services Director <br /> <br />~~k~ <br /> <br />David P.
