Background:
|
|
Xerographic bond paper is used throughout the district for both copy machines and computer printers. Paper is purchased as needed and delivered to each district location. In July 2020, the Board approved a bid from Veritiv Operating Company for xerographic bond paper, for the amount of $25.45 per case, and this contract expired on June 30, 2021. |

Summary:
|
As the national supply and demand of paper has fluctuated over the past several months, it was determined that a 6-month contract (versus a 12-month) for paper was better served and would attract more vendors. We specified four (4) acceptable brands of 20 lb. white, 8 ½” x 11” paper in the bid document: Boise X-9, Comet, Domtar Copy, and Hammermill Tidal. All of these brands have been tested in district machines, and all work well. We estimate our 6-month usage to be approximately 2,500 cases.
Legal notice was published and bid packages were sent to potential vendors. We had two (2) vendors respond to the bid. Bid results are attached.
Veritiv Operating Company has the lowest responsible bid at $32.20 per case for Comet paper. This price is good until December 31, 2021. |
