T07 -062 - Integrated Supply Contract for Janitorial Products (P2006-11)
RECOMMENDA TION
That the City of Kitchener piggyback onto the Region of Waterloo Contract, P2006-11
Integrated Supply Contract for Janitorial Cleaning Chemical Products, which was awarded to
Wood Wyant Inc, Pickering, Ontario, for a three (3) year period, with an option to renew for an
additional two (2) one (1) year periods.
BACKGROUND
In keeping with standard terms for the Co-Operative Purchasing Group of Waterloo Region
(CPGWR), the Region of Waterloo sent out a Proposal with the understanding that other
members of the CPGWR who did not participate in the original proposal would have the option
to participate in the contract at the expiry of their current agreements. The City of Kitchener
contract for cleaning chemicals expired May 5th, 2007.
Piggybacking onto the Region of Waterloo contract means:
o that the City of Kitchener would be a participating member agency on the Region of
Waterloo's contract, reducing administrative costs and duplication of efforts
o that the City of Kitchener is implementing an environmentally responsible program along
with the Region of Waterloo
o that all City of Kitchener cleaning chemicals purchased, whenever possible, would meet
or exceed acceptable third party certification through Environment Canada's
ECOLABELLING Program; as environmental preferred cleaning products.
The City of Kitchener's estimated total dollar usage over a one-year period represents
$72,022.71, including taxes, of this contract. A savings of approximately $12,943.67 will be
realized due to the dollar volume purchased through the Region of Waterloo contract.
REPORT
The following user departments concur with the above recommendation:
o L. Stecho, Supervisor of Purchasing
o E. Dent, Supervisor Facilities Management
o G. Egerdeen, Supervisor Facilities Management
o G. Collins, Supervisor of Community Arenas
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Funding will be provided from various City indices.
Larry Gordon
Director of Purchasing
