These items are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution to the <br />various departments. The Public Works Agency requires a variety of specialty personal protective <br />gear, power tools, hardware and parts for maintenance and repairs of sampling stations, water meter <br />vaults and sewer manholes. In addition, the City also establishes contracts for miscellaneous items <br />including tools that are not carried as inventory items in Central Stores. The contract for hand and <br />landscaping tools are designed to provide quality products at significant savings based on quantity <br />pricing. <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. The previous contract renewal, in the <br />amount of $60,000, was based on prior usage. However, in order to provide sufficient funds for <br />anticipated purchases during the upcoming contract year, staff recommends increasing the <br />authorized dollar amount to $85,000. Grainger, Inc. offers pricing through the Western State's <br />Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract. Staff recommends the final renewal of the contract. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the various departmental Operating Materials and Supplies accounts (63001). <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance and Management Services Agency {a <br />sp <br />"22A -1 <br />
