FILE NUMBER
Renew the contract with Grainger, Inc. for the purchase of hand tools and miscellaneous items for a
one-year period in an annual amount not to exceed $60,000.
DISCUSSION
City departments require an assortment of tools such as saws, hammers, screwdrivers, shovels and
rakes in order to perform general maintenance. The items are purchased through the Central Stores
warehouse for distribution to the various departments. The contracts for landscaping and hand tools
are designed to provide quality products at significant savings based on quantity pricing. In addition,
the City also establishes contracts for miscellaneous items including tools that are not available from
the Central Stores.
On August 3, 2009, the City Council awarded to Grainger, Inc., a Santa Ana vendor, a contract for
one-year period, with provisions for four one-year renewals. Grainger, Inc. offers pricing through the
Western State's Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract. The vendor has performed satisfactorily
during the past contract period and staff recommends the third renewal of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the various departmental Operating Materials and Supplies accounts (63001).
