SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
Accept the Piggy-back Agreement Between Ricoh America Corporation and U. S. Communities, City of Los Angeles Supply Contract 58795 Multifunctional Printers, Copiers, Lease/Purchase, Fax-Purchase, and Document Solutions (Business Division) | |
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
Applicable Florida Department of Education (DOE) and district policy allows purchases from contracts awarded by other government agencies, district school boards, Department of Management Services(DMS), etc., at or below specified prices. This practice reduces procurement administrative costs.
Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) has been piggy-backing the Miami Dade County Public Schools, Florida, Multifunctional Devices, Copying Equipment, Services and Supplies contract. HCPS negotiated an additional 13% reduction in maintenance charges and initiated our current lease program under this contract. If approved, HCPS will utilize the U. S. Communities Contract number 58795 for Multifunctional Printers/Copiers competitively solicited by the City of Angeles, California, the lead agency. This will allow HCPS to continue our current program and services with IKON Office Solutions. It will expand the availability of products and services offerings while maintaining our current partnership. The initial term of contract was from September 21, 2007 to September 30, 2010, and was renewed through September 30, 2012. The Superintendent is authorized to approve the renewal agreement for the terms of the specifications. This recommendation has been reviewed by the Manager of Customer Service & Support and Technology Repair. A more detailed review of the specifications can be obtained by contacting the Procurement Department. |
