E-141 REQUEST APPROVAL OF SUPPLEMENTAL AWARD ON TERM CONTRACTS

RECOMMENDED: That The School Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida, APPROVE the supplemental awards on the following term contracts, inasmuch as the estimated requirements, previously awarded by the Board, will be exceeded before the contract terms expire.

(1)

Contract No. 184-CC03 – SPECIALTY BREAD AND PASTRIES (REBID), to purchase, at firm unit prices, quantities, as may be required, of specialty bread and pastries, for the Department of Food and Nutrition, during the term of the contract, effective August 20, 2003, through February 18, 2005. This supplemental award is requested due to the continuing increase in usage for items on this contract, which are used by District Activity Directors as fundraisers.

The original bid award was based on estimated expenditures for the ten items on this bid, six of which were new items, including Jamaican beef or chicken turnovers, fresh Cuban bread, fresh bread for media noche, fresh Cuban rolls, individual guava and cheese pastries and individual guava pastries, thus preventing any historical data on the estimated quantities during the term of the contract. Sales were better than expected, and a supplement was requested in May 2004, based on average expenditures of $10,250 per month. Sales have continued to increase, averaging $11,563 from May through November. This is an increase in average monthly expenditures of $1,314.12 per month. An additional supplement is requested to accommodate the expected demand through the end of the current contract period in February 2005.

Contract No. 019-DD04 – PRINTERS: COMPUTER, to purchase, at firm discounts, quantities, as may be required, of computer printers and supplies, for various locations, during the term of the contract, effective January 15, 2004, through January 31, 2006. This supplemental award is requested due to increased usage. Last contract usage averaged $142,723.62 per month, while this year’s usage has averaged $283,248.05 per month.

The previous contract award was for equipment only, while this contract includes both hardware and consumables. The consumables, including toner and color cartridges, were previously purchased off the District’s office supply bid, or through state contract pricing. On the current bid, the prices for both hardware and consumables are quoted to all awarded vendors. Prices are posted on the District’s e-catalog, and will be posted to the shopping cart.

The District has standardized printers according to specifications from Instructional Technology Services. Acceptable printers must meet specifications in one of five groups, and include performance criteria, such as print speed, black-and-white or color, resolution, and number of simultaneous users.

The spot-market option on the bid insures the District’s ability to standardize the selection of a product, at a highly competitive cost. This supplemental award will permit schools and departments to continue acquiring printers and consumables at competitive pricing. The average monthly expenditure for printers has increased in the last two months, due to purchases to support the Read 180 program and various grant programs.
