The items required by the end-users may be inclusive of the full range of products carried by the vendor, as well as special order items.

The Agreement will operate as a “one-stop shop” for all City departments to purchase their computer peripherals, supplies and software requirements directly from the selected vendor with delivery to the end-user’s location. The goal of this process is to simplify the acquisition process for computer peripheral equipment. The vendor will be required to work closely with the end-users to provide pre-sale and post-sale support, product technical information, samples or demonstrations and help desk.

All items purchased under the Agreement will be purchased on an “as needed” basis by individual City departments. The total annual expenditure for computer peripherals and software is estimated to be $1M - 2M. The City reserves the right to adjust the quantities and annual budget estimate up or down as required. The City also reserves the right to split award to multiple vendors.
