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 $85,000, subject to non - substantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
City departments require an assortment of tools in order to perform general maintenance throughout
the City. These items are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution to the
various departments. The Public Works Agency requires a variety of specialty personal protective
gear, power tools, hardware and parts for maintenance and repairs of sampling stations, water meter
vaults and sewer manholes. In addition, the City also establishes contracts for miscellaneous items
including tools that are not carried as inventory items in Central Stores. The contract for hand and
landscaping tools are designed to provide quality products at significant savings based on quantity
pricing.
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. The previous contract renewal, in the
amount of $60,000, was based on prior usage. However, in order to provide sufficient funds for
anticipated purchases during the upcoming contract year, staff recommends increasing the
authorized dollar amount to $85,000. Grainger, Inc. offers pricing through the Western State's
Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract. Staff recommends the final renewal of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the various departmental Operating Materials and Supplies accounts (63001).
