REPORT <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />June 25, 2018 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />General Services Agreement with ImageX, Inc. for On-call Printing and Mailing Services <br />for the Public Works Services Department <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a two-year General <br />Services Agreement with ImageX, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $70,000 for On-call <br />Printing and Mailing Services <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Water, Wastewater, Right-of-Way Maintenance, and Administration Sections of the <br />Public Works Services (PWS) Department print a variety of public information materials. <br />These materials are mailed through the postal service, posted at residences, <br />businesses and/or worksites, and are made available to the public at the PWS <br />administrative office located at 1400 Broadway Street in Redwood City. These materials <br />include color or black and white brochures (tri- and bi-fold), envelopes, door hangers, <br />letterhead, postcards, multi-page calendars, booklets, no parking signs, and similar <br />materials. In addition, PWS periodically requires assistance in merging individual <br />addresses and postage meter information onto materials to be mailed and delivered to <br />the Post Office. <br /> <br />PWS recognizes there is an ongoing need for on-call printing and mailing services that <br />is best served by entering into a multi-year agreement with a qualified company in order <br />to provide high quality, consistent, reliable, and cost-effective services. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br />On April 20, 2018, PWS issued a Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) for on-call printing and <br />mailing services. The NIB was advertised in The Daily News on April 20, 2018, posted <br />to the City’s website, and mailed to eight (8) printing and mail fulfillment services in the <br />San Francisco Bay area. <br />The NIB required proposers to represent their ability to provide the following services: <br />· Print from various electronic file formats (e.g. Acrobat, Illustrator, Publisher, <br />Word, PageMaker, etc.); <br />· Perform printing/mailing orders of 30,000 or more individual pieces; <br />· Coordinate printing and mailing schedules with Departmental representatives; <br />6.1.C. - Page 1
