STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Approval of Contract No. C 33�4o with Staples, Inc. for citywide
general office supplies
SUBMITTED BY: Paul Gibson, Director of Finance
DATE: November 14, 2013
CONTENTS: Contract No. C 33140
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, that the City Council approve Contract No. C��i 4�
with Staples, Inc. for a one-year contract effective November 15, 2013, with
two possible one-year extensions.
Backqround
A Notice Inviting Bids was posted on the City's bulletin board and on the website at
www.cityofpalmdesert.orq for the duration of the bidding process. Prospective bidders
were also solicited via e-mail. The deadline to submit a bid was originally Friday, October
11, and upon a prospective bidder's request, was extended to 5:00 p.m. on Monday,
October 14, 2013. All solicited bidders were notified to allow equal time to prepare their
bids.
Requests for Proposal (RFP) were transmitted to the following companies who had
previously expressed interest in submitting a bid:
• Academic Supplier Chula Vista, CA
• OfficeMax Palm Desert, CA
• Staples Palm Desert, CA
Additional office supply companies were researched online (www.starofficesupplies.com,
www.shoplet.com, www.onlineofficesupplies.com) in an attempt to reach additional local
and out of area vendors. Despite staff's efforts, the companies either did not respond to
inquiry or could not meet the needs of the City through response time or product
availability. Due to ongoing litigation with Office Depot, an RFP was not solicited.
Staples, Inc. provided the sole bid. Staff followed up with other solicited bidders to
determine the reason for non-submittal. Academic Supplier indicated that while they were

awarded the ink/toner bid for the City, they did not typically bid on smaller projects. The
City can still order office supplies from this company at a discounted rate as a current
customer. The OfficeMax representative indicated that she had forwarded the RFP to her
company's bidding department, and was surprised and disappointed that a bid had not
been submitted.
Staff recommends awarding the bid for General Office Supplies to Staples, Inc. for a
period of one year with the option to extend the contract for two additional one-year terms.
Fiscal Impact
The bid submitted by Staples, Inc. includes a discount available to the City through a co-
operative purchasing agreement (Contract No. 031210) with National Joint Powers
Alliance (NJPA), a national public service agency committed to serving its members
nationally and locally through a variety of valued programs. Pricing is competitive for the
City's typical annual sales volume of approximately $13,000. Funds are budgeted in the
General Services account No. 110-4159-415-2110.

m • Availability of training for City staff;

"�° • Content of Proposer's proposal;

" 7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The specifications in this RFP are based on our orders typically placed with Office
" Depot, our current vendor, and include the order number used to purchase those items
< rather than the manufacturer's number. Some of the listed items are a generic brand
and it is understandable that proposers will be unable to provide prices on those specific
items. However, an alternative such as the proposer's generic brand item will be
e accepted, and should be indicated as such in the "Generic" column. Additionally, the
Proposer may provide a price on a brand item listed and a generic item if the company
provides one of comparable quality. Pricing is also based on participation in The
Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN), and vendors are encouraged to indicate
their participation in this and/or similar programs.
It is beneficial to the Proposer to provide pricing on all items so that an accurate price
comparison can be made. In addition to providing the item's list price and discounted
price, a percentage discount for each item should also be included that would be made
'� available to the City regardless of the list price. If the discount price offered is through a
government bid such as US Communities, TCPN or National IPA, please indicate as
such. Failure to provide the requested information may be considered non-responsive
" and result in disqualification of the proposal. Additionally, as part of the proposal review,
., a selective comparison will be conducted between prices offered on the Proposer's
retail site and the proposed contract prices.
- The City is highly reliant on internet usage for placing and tracking orders, history,
reports and account maintenance; therefore, it is required that the successful Proposer
provide reliable service through this medium as well as by telephone and in person, and
that service such as next-day delivery and/or in-store pick-up be available for most
items other than special orders.
� The contract to be awarded is for a period of one (1) year with the potential for two one-
� year extensions. Contract extension is based on continued value, competitive pricing,
satisfactory perFormance as determined by the City, and the desire of both parties to
� continue such contract.

� 8. Is there a minimum order amount that should be placed? Yes x No
What is it? $50
� What are the consequences of not meeting the minimum order?
:�
" Page 14
�
� Order size and order frequency contribute significant costs to customers' office supply programs. Industry
" statistics show that with every order transaction you process, you can incur costs of $20 to upwards of
� $100 dollars, depending on your organization's labor costs and method of placing orders. These costs
�
increase when you consider environmental factors, such as the additional packaging materials included in
multiple deliveries and the increase in carbon emissions expelled by delivery trucks.
.,
To minimize these costs, Staples has developed a best practice of implementing mutually agreed upon
� order size standards with our customers. These standards reduce the frequency of small, inefficient
� orders (e.g., orders for one box of pens). This decreases delivery trips and order processing costs and
�
leads to mutual cost savings for both City of Palm Desert and Staples. It also helps the environment by
significantly reducing carbon emissions from delivery trucks and paper waste from boxes and other
� packaging materials.
�' Example: By reducing their number of small orders by 10% a quarter, one of our customers was able to
� save $78,000 in order transaction costs, 27,291 Ibs of CO2 emissions and the equivalent of 31 trees
�
worth of paper in one year.
Based on programs implemented with similar organizations of your size and in your industry, we
� recommend that a $50 minimum order requirement be implemented for your program. However, Staples
"' will work with you to establish a minimum order size that meets your requirements.
- Our dedicated account management team will work with City of Palm Desert and suggest program
strategies that lead to larger order sizes. We will support these initiatives with a full communications
campaign that includes customized, colorful brochures and flyers explaining the environmental and cost
savings benefits of consolidation to your end users. We can also implement order size controls on your e-
commerce ordering platform that would require users to reach the minimum order threshold before
submitting the order. Both of these methods have been extremely effective in helping our other customers
minimize their costs without inconveniencing end users.
9. What is the minimum annual volume that is required to retain the quoted prices?
$15,000, The prices that we provided are if Staples is awarded the account and
is the primary vendor.
