SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Paper is a very volatile commodity. The price of paper changes as mills pass on costs to distributors. It has been the practice of most sites/departments to purchase white twenty-pound paper by the case from Office Depot due to the convenience of next-day delivery and limited storage space. The results from a recent contract announced by the DMS provides a viable economic alternative and one-year fixed pricing for the purchase of ten cases or more. Mac Papers has a facility in Tampa, which allows a 1-to-2 day delivery. Annual savings of $158,000 has been projected and we are anticipating fifty percent of Hillsborough County Public Schools volume to move to the DMS contract.
