TITLE
The Mayor and City Council shall discuss and possibly take action on a request by the Purchasing Manager to approve expenditures exceeding $25,000 and previously approved limits for Fiscal Year 2014/2015 pursuant to the City Purchasing Code, Article IV, Section 3-213(e) “Cumulative Annual Purchases in Excess of $25,000” with: 1st Class Hosting LLC; H & E Equipment Services, Inc.; Horizon Distributors, Inc.; Fertizona-Casa Grande, LLC; Stabilizer Solutions, Inc.; Spillman Technologies; TDIndustries, Inc Discussion and Action.
AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION
Per the City Purchasing Code contained in Chapter 03, Article IV, Section 3-213(e) Cumulative Annual Purchases in Excess of $25,000 of the Maricopa City Code, expenditures that exceed $25,000 must be approved by City Council prior to execution of purchase orders. Some of these Purchases will also comply with Chapter 03, Article IV, Section 3-223 Cooperative Purchasing of the Maricopa City Code. Since it is nearly impossible to predict the precise time certain operational expenditures will meet or exceed the $25,000 threshold and to keep operations running smoothly, the staff requests approval of these expenditures in excess of $25,000 and previously approved limits but not to exceed the listed dollar amount without further Council approval.
1ST CLASS HOSTING LLC is a firm the City has been working with for the redesign of the Maricopa Fire Department network. The services and expertise of this firm will also benefit other City remote sites in possible redesign or upgrading. As of January, 2015, the FY2014/2015 encumbrances and expenditures are at $22,035.69. As I.T. and the Fire Department progress through the redesign, additional services and equipment have been identified to complete the project. Therefore, staff is requesting to exceed the $25,000 expenditure limit but not to exceed $50,000 with 1st Class Hosting, LLC without further Council approval.
