Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE:  The contract will provide relocation services for all City facilities as needed to relocate from one building to another or for moves within the same building. The contractor will provide all labor, materials, and necessary equipment to perform the moving services. The contractor is required to properly recycle all materials used during the moving services, provide re-usable crates in place of paper boxes, use appropriately sized vehicles in order to minimize the number of trips required, and to follow the City’s anti- idling regulations while providing moving services to the City. The contract will replace the existing moving services contract, which will run out of spending authority prior to expiring due to an increased need of moving services. The requested authority for the new contract will allow for additional departments to use this contract and to support several large office moves taking place in future years. If the City is unable to secure the contract, departments will be required to perform spot purchases and may experience service delays for moving services.
