SUBJECT:
Annual Contract Extensions
SUMMARY:
An ordinance extending twelve annual contracts to continue to provide the City departments with necessary commodities and services for the terms indicated for an estimated cost of $4,442,996.00. Extension of these contracts is requested due to the number of City staff dedicating significant resources to the COVID-19 response and recovery. As a result, limited resources are currently available to issue new solicitations for goods and services below in which existing contracts are set to expire in the near future. This ordinance provides for the extension of contracts for required goods and services, as needed, and dependent on the Department's available budget, for the following terms.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of San Antonio utilizes annual contracts for procuring high volume repetitive purchases. Annual contracts are an efficient method of securing the best prices through volume purchasing and reducing large amounts of work related to the bid process. Extension of these annual contracts will assure that City departments have the required goods and services necessary to support daily operations.
Due to the amount of City staff resources dedicated to the response and recovery efforts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, this has resulted in the delay of issuing solicitations for these required goods and services. In order to avoid any delays in services or obtaining goods needed by various departments, staff is requesting approval of extensions to allow for the continuation of these contracts under the current terms and conditions.
