The items are purchased through the Central Stores <br />warehouse for distribution to the various departments. The contracts for landscaping and hand tools <br />are designed to provide quality products at significant savings based on quantity pricing. In addition, <br />the City also establishes contracts for miscellaneous items including tools that are not available from <br />the Central Stores. <br />On August 3, 2009, the City Council awarded to Grainger, Inc., a Santa Ana vendor, a contract for <br />one-year period, with provisions for four one-year renewals. Grainger, Inc. offers pricing through the <br />Western State's Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract. The vendor has performed satisfactorily <br />during the past contract period and staff recommends the third renewal of the contract. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the various departmental Operating Materials and Supplies accounts (63001). <br />- %N"?t , A ?, ??
