GRAINGER BOCS 6.15.22 MTG.xlsx
Rationale: Award of General Fund Purchase Order for Maintenance & Custodial Materials, Supplies and Equipment to W.W. GRAINGER under NYSOGS Group 39000, Award 22918, Contract No. PC67235 “Commercial Supplies & Equipment” for $1,400,000.00 and a term of 365 calendar days.

This is a $300,000 more than last year. This is due to several factors including but not limited to:
• The procurement of $300,000 in materials normally made from Imperial Paper will now be from Grainger. Imperial’s prices are historically lower than Grainger but their latest quote at $315,000, up by $76,000 over last year, was higher and rejected.
• Inflation & supply chain issues.
• The new District boot program
• Increase costs for medical waste disposal

This is the seventh year that the District has contracted with Grainger in this manner. The impact has been predominantly positive on process and storage requirements. This will be a new purchase order and not a contract extension.
