Home Depot provides maintenance <br />and repair materials such as hardware, lumber, fasteners and hand and electric tools necessary <br />to ensure these City assets provide a consistent level of service. Home Depot is also a local <br />Santa Ana vendor offering a wide variety of materials, supplies, tools, equipment and a variety of <br />sundry supplies for immediate electrical, plumbing and general repairs at various City buildings, <br />including park facilities, libraries, recreation and senior centers, Santa Ana Zoo, City Hall, <br />Corporate Yard, Police Administration and Holding Facility. Home Depot's proximity offers a fast <br />and efficient way for City employees to quickly obtain materials and supplies required for daily <br />operations. To facilitate this process, an annual blanket order contract will be established with <br />Home Depot. <br />Home Depot, a Santa Ana vendor, was awarded a five-year contract after a competitive bid was <br />conducted by the US Communities, a national cooperative purchasing program. Santa Ana City <br />Ordinance No. NS -2312 authorizes the City to purchase against such contracts. The contract <br />also offers the City a 2% rebate on annual pre-tax purchases up to $100,000 and a 5% rebate on <br />annual pre-tax purchases exceeding $100,000. Approval of the recommended action would allow <br />the City to take advantage of the favorable pricing offered by the US Communities contract. <br />2213-1 <br />
