Home My WebLink AboutE-17 Staff Report - Blanket POs over $25,000CONSENT ITEM E-17 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER FROM: TALIKA M. JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE DATE: JUNE 17, 2019 SUBJECT: BLANKET PURCHASE ORDERS OVER $25,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020 (CITY AND SUCCESSOR AGENCY) BACKGROUND: Each year at this time, the City Council approves Blanket Purchase Orders that are in the amount of $25,000 or more, for the upcoming fiscal year. The purchase orders are good for one year, expiring on June 30, 2020. The amounts listed on the Blanket Purchase Orders are estimates only, and will have no impact on the 2019-20 budget until they are used. This action approves the issuance of Blanket Purchase Orders detailed on the attached scheduled (Attachment 1). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following action: 1)Approve the issuance of Blanket Purchase Orders detailed on the attached schedule, in an amount of $25,000 or more as outlined in Sec. 2-518 (a) of the Azusa Municipal Code. ANALYSIS: Blanket Purchase Orders (BPO) are Purchase Orders (PO) that are issued by City departments on an annual basis for the following reasons: •Repetitious purchases of low cost to medium cost supplies and or equipment used in the daily performance of one’s job. •To pay invoices for City Council approved services which occur repetitiously, either weekly, monthly, or quarterly, such as, but not limited to, delivery services (Fed EX, UPS), standing orders (library books), etc. •Repetitious payments against previously bid, City Council approved contractual agreements of $25,000. APPROVED CITY COUNCIL 6/17/2019 Blanket Purchase Orders Over $25,000 June 17, 2019 Page 2 • The purchase of electricity from power suppliers/generators, which can range anywhere from $20,000 to $500,000 per purchase, when placing an immediate order is crucial to obtaining lowest possible price and delivery of such. BPOs are not intended to bypass or supersede the normal purchasing procedures as set forth in the Azusa Municipal Code, but rather to streamline the purchasing process when necessary. Departments request BPOs as a back up to issuing regular POs, when it is not feasible to use a regular PO (walk-in purchasing supplies at local merchants like Home Depot, local tree nurseries, etc., when time is of the essence). Additionally, with the exception of BPOs identified as a “Contractual Obligation” or “POWER RESOURCES/PURCHASE OF ELECTRICITY”, most individual charges against these BPOs are well below any formal bid threshold. For individual purchases of more than $5,000, normal bidding and contracting procedures as outlined in Article VII of the Azusa Municipal Code is strictly enforced. FISCAL IMPACT: Monies for these Blanket Purchase Orders have been budgeted for FY 2019-2020 by their respective departments. Prepared by: Reviewed and Approved: Adriana Garcia Talika M.
