1.  Roll Call.  

 

Roll Call was taken by Vice Chairman Theisen; all were present except for Chairman VanderLeest, who arrived shortly thereafter.

 

2.  Request of the Purchasing Agent to award a 48 month, city-wide copier contract to Advantage Office Solutions for an estimated $41,416 per year.

 

Purchasing Manager Linda Dupuis explained that the copier contract will hold our copier costs flat for a second four-year contract.  The City will have kept copier costs at $.01 per copy including machine rental, 3-hour repair service, and toner for eight straight years.

 

Mrs. Dupuis explained the due diligence that she and staff went through for this contract.  The contract was publicly bid and the current vendor was the low bidder and won the contract again.

 

A motion was made by Ald. Theisen and seconded by Ald. Deneys to approve the request of the Purchasing Agent to award a 48 month, city-wide copier contract to Advantage Office Solutions for an estimated $41,416 per year.  A vote was taken and the motion carried.

 

A motion to adjourn was made by Ald. Deneys, seconded by Ald. Weber, and carried.  The meeting was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.

 

The next meeting of the Finance Committee will be held on Tuesday, August 26.
