Additional Backup Information:
The contract with PrintMailPro.com provides all City departments with printing services and supplies. The goods and services provided by the contractor is ordered and paid through the City’s Procurement Card program.
This ratification is necessary because orders for printing has exceeded the amount of authorization in the contract. Our office in currently working on processes to address this situation and prevent overspending in the future. Additionally, a new contract is also being requested on the same council agenda, to replace this contract.
Without this contract City departments would not have an established contract to order printing services, business cards, or other print needs and they would have to be sourced each time a department needed to order printing services.
