Orders for paper are placed as needed. In June 2022, the Board approved a bid from Garvey’s Office Products for these similar types of paper at an estimated total cost of $35,370.30, and this contract expires on December 31, 2022.

Summary: As the national supply and demand of paper continues to fluctuate, it was determined that a 6-month contract (versus a 12-month) was better served and would attract more vendors.

Legal notice was published and bid packages for a 6-month contract were sent to multiple vendors. In the bid document, we specified various brands for multiple types of paper. We also sought bids on various sizes and types of envelopes and labels. Two (2) vendors responded to the bid.

Attached are the bid results. The lowest bid prices for various items are recommended by the highlighted cells. The prices will be effective through June 30, 2023.
