TOPIC: Amend Blanket Order Contract with Home Depot
AGENDA TITLE
Amend Blanket Order Contract with Home Depot for Construction, Maintenance, and
Repair Materials and Supplies to Extend Term for an Additional Four-year Period
Ending December 31, 2026 (Specification No. 17-121) (General and Non-General
Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Amendment blanket order contract with Home Depot for construction, maintenance, and
repair materials and supplies to extend the term for an additional four-year period
ending December 31, 2026, with provision for five subsequent one-year renewal periods
exercisable by the City Manager in an annual amount not to exceed $252,000, subject
to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On January 16, 2018, the City Council approved a blanket order contract with Home
Depot for a five-year period, which ended on December 31, 2022. This blanket order
contract is utilized by staff citywide for the procurement of construction, maintenance,
repair, and related materials and supplies on an as-needed basis. It affords staff the
ability to visit the local Santa Ana Home Depot store for essential construction,
maintenance, and repair materials, including hardware, lumber, fasteners, and tools.
They can also visit it for a variety of sundry supplies for immediate electrical, plumbing,
and general repairs at various City buildings to ensure the City provides a consistent
level of services, including areas such as park facilities, libraries, recreation and senior
centers, Santa Ana Zoo, City Hall, Corporate Yard, Police Administration, and Holding
Facility. Additionally, Home Depot's proximity offers a fast and efficient way for City
employees to quickly obtain materials and supplies required for daily operations. To
facilitate this process, an annual blanket order contract was established with Home
Depot, a Santa Ana vendor.
Home Depot was awarded a contract after competitive Request for Proposals (RFP)
No. 16154 was conducted by Maricopa County and made available to other public
agencies by OMNIA Partners Public Sector, a national cooperative purchasing program.
Maricopa County has authorized an extension of their contract term through December

31, 2026, with the option to further extend the contract for a maximum of five additional
years.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against
contracts issued to vendors who have been awarded the same type of purchase
contract by a state agency, county, city, or other public agency after a competitive
bidding process substantially equivalent to the City’s standard bidding process. This
contract also offers the City a 2 percent rebate on annual pre-tax purchases up to
$100,000 and a 5 percent rebate on annual pre-tax purchases exceeding $100,000. By
leveraging the procurement power through cooperative purchasing, the City of Santa
Ana is able to obtain nationally vetted, high quality products at competitive volume
pricing, and is in accordance with the City’s existing Purchasing guidelines.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the contract through June 30, 2023 is included in the current year budget,
within various departmental Miscellaneous Operating Expense accounts (no. 63001).
Funding for future contract years, through December 2026, will be included in the
proposed annual budgets for City Council consideration.
