The <br />contracts for janitorial supplies are designed to provide quality <br />products at a significant savings based on quantity pricing. <br /> <br />On October 4, 2004, the City Council awarded contracts for a period of <br />one year with options for two one-year renewals. Gale Supply Company, <br />Kathco Products, Maintex, Inc., Waxie Sanitary Supply, and Xpedx have <br />agreed to the first renewal option to the contracts. However, the <br />manufacturers have requested price increases due to increased costs in <br />fuel, transportation, and insurance, as well as cost increases <br />resulting from the recent disasters in the Southeast. The vendors have <br />performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and staff <br />recommends authorizing renewal of the contracts. <br /> <br />22B-1 <br /> <br />CSCJd;) <br />
