Background
|
Xerographic bond paper (white copy 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 June 2024, the Board approved a bid from Garvey’s Office Products for xerographic bond paper, for $36.00 per case, and this 6-month contract expires on December 31, 2024.

Summary:
|
As the national supply and demand of paper continue to fluctuate, it was determined that a 6-month contract (versus a 12-month) for the 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 2,000 cases.
Legal notice was published and bid packages for a 6-month contract were sent to potential vendors. Two (2) responded to the bid. Veritiv Operating Company submitted a bid of $35.00 per case for Comet paper as the lowest responsible responsive bid. This price is good until June 30, 2025.
The bid results are attached.
