Explanation
§ City departments rely on various cleaning and custodial supplies and equipment for their day-to-day operations.
§ In March 2023, the city contracted with HD Supply Facilities Maintenance LT for cleaning and custodial supplies and equipment under a cooperative contract.
§ NC General Statute Section 143-129(e)(3) allows local governments to purchase from formally organized cooperative purchasing contracts.
§ A cooperative purchasing agreement results from the consolidation and competitive solicitation of multiple public agency requirements. By aggregating common needs all agencies are able to leverage economies of scale, such as volume discounts, improved terms and conditions, reduced administrative costs, and access to professional and technical expertise.
§ This amendment is needed to support the operational needs of newly established fire stations.
§ The new total contract amount including amendment #1 is $649,000.
Charlotte Business INClusion
This contract is for supplies and equipment, with limited sub-contracting opportunities. Cooperative purchasing contracts leverage contracts established by other governmental agencies and do not involve the city conducting a bidding process and are thus exempt from CBI Program goals.
