Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
Contract amounts and department allocations represent the maximum spending authority based on estimated past usage. This action does not guarantee that the total contract amounts/values will be expended by these County departments and/or agencies. Funding will be expended only if departmental budgets can support the expenditures as approved in their annual budget adopted by the Board.

Track Record/Monitor
There are no known performance issues with the vendors recommended for award. The departments� contract managers are reflected in the attached OTR package.

Delegated Authority
If this item is approved, the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee will have the authority to exercise the OTR in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract listed in the accompanying package.

BODY
The contract listed in this item require approval to exercise the sole OTR. The contract was awarded under the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee�s delegated authority pursuant to Section 2-8.1(b) of the County Code and the Master Procurement Implementing Order, I.O. 3-38.

The contract in this package was awarded prior to the effective date of Ordinance 09-52, which requires obtaining Board authorization to award contracts where the renewal options would bring the cumulative value of the contract above $1 million.


Prior to exercising any OTR, market research is conducted to ensure continuing to purchase from the awarded vendors is in the best interest of the County. Market research includes competitive factors such as pricing, quality, product features, technology, and lead time. It may also include commercial factors such as environmental issues, other governmental entity practices, industry trends, support and capabilities. This item only seeks the advanced delegated authority to exercise the OTR(s) if determined that it is in the best interest of the County.
