Resolution Authorizing

Office Supplies with Ideal
Office Products
Bid No. 00-01-044
MAC :.5 2004
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
terminating the bid of Ideal Office Products, Bid No. 00-01-044, and rescinding Resolution
No.01-103, adopted February 8, 2001, in its entirety, for the provision of Office Supplies,
Citywide.
BACKGROUND
After receiving copious amounts of complaints from most departments in the city, the City
Manager along with the Purchasing Department has determined that Ideal Office Products is in
breach of the contract, in particular, Section 3.10, of the Bid Contract, by not supplying office
supplies to the City of Miami within a 24 hour period after receipt of orders.
Most City departments have been complaining that office supplies have not been delivered in a
timely mariner. As a result of terminating the contract with Ideal Office Products, the City
Manager in an effort to provide temporary relief to City Departments, awarded the Office
Supplies Contract to Office Depot, utilizing the State of Florida Contract No. 618-001-04-1, not
to exceed $50,000, until the City Commission adopts the State of Florida Contract at the March
25, 2004, Commission meeting, which will be brought as a companion agenda item to this item.
Therefore, it is recommended that the City Commission approve the termination of the bid with
Ideal Office Products.
