AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving City of Lodi Participation in Sacramento
County Contract for Purchase of Office Supplies
MEETING DATE: February 7, 2001
PREPARED BY: Finance Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City to
purchase office supplies under terms of the contract between
Sacramento County and its office supplies contractor, Corporate
Express Office Products of Sacramento.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In July, 1992, the City Council adopted Resolution 92-119 authorizing
the City to participate in an office supplies contract between the
County of San Joaquin and Eastman, Inc. (now Office Depot,
Sacramento). Since that time the City has enjoyed pricing in the range
of 35% - 70% off list prices for office supplies.
In September, 2000, Sacramento County's Purchasing Division awarded contract #WA00011900 for
purchase of office supplies from Corporate Express. The award was a result of Bid #5315. Part of the
contract stipulates that "terms, conditions, and pricing of the contract are available to other political entities
within California". The bid evaluation shows Corporate Express pricing on a "shopping list" of contract items
(193 high -use items, many of which the City of Lodi uses) to be 40% below Office Depot pricing on the same
list.
Staff expects to continue to use Office Depot as a supplier, either through San Joaquin County or through the
U.S. Communities Purchasing Program, on those items where it is most advantageous to do so.
Concurrently, the City would take advantage of Sacramento County contract pricing with Corporate Express,
under authorization provided by this resolution, on those items where the City would derive the greatest
benefit. Both companies offer on-line ordering, next -day delivery, and comprehensive reporting of order
activity.
FUNDING: None required to implement; individual departments budget for office
supplies.
