Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a master agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This master agreement will provide for the purchase of aluminum sign blanks for the Department of Transportation and Public Works. These sign blanks are essential materials used in the production of:
Traffic control signs such as stop signs, speed limit signs, yield, and no turn signs
• Warning signs such as pedestrian crossing, school crossing, dip, and curve
• Street name signs and overhead street name signs found at intersections with Signal lights
• Signs used by other City departments such as the Park & Recreation Department, the Department of Equipment & Fleet Management and the Department of Facilities and Real Estate Management
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
