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. We anticipate the following City departments will use this agreement:
• Building Services Department
• Department of Aviation
• Department of Convention and Event Services
• Department of Public Works
• Department of Sanitation Services
• Fire-Rescue Department
• Park and Recreation Department
• Water Utilities Department
This master agreement will provide for City departments to purchase various types and sizes of fasteners such as screws, nuts, bolts, washers, rivets, and cotter pins. The fasteners will be used for general maintenance and repair of City facilities and equipment.
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. Additionally, in an effort to secure more competition, the Office of Business Diversity sent notifications to chambers of commerce and advocacy groups to ensure maximum vendor outreach.

On March 25, 2015, City Council authorized a three-year master agreement for fasteners with Grayson Industries, Inc., Fastenal Company, and D.F. Sales by Resolution No. 15-0479.
