Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Amazon Services, LLC for the purchase of various goods and services through its online marketplace.
Body
The purpose of this agreement is to support citywide operations by authorizing the purchase of various items such as published products, small office equipment/supplies, paper materials, medical supplies, and small information technology items.
City employees will use the Amazon Business Public Sector Account to place online orders for supplies and equipment as needed. This account offers centralized business analytics and reporting for spend visibility for administrators and users. The estimated annual spend per year is expected not to exceed $300,000 citywide and the costs are paid for from the department’s operating budget.
The City’s contract with Amazon Business will extend through January 18, 2022 and may be extended for three (3) additional two (2) year periods which is dependent on the extension of the Omnia Partners cooperative contract.
