County staff recommend one-year paper-stock contract with Brady Industries (estimated $99,364)
Summary
Procurement staff recommended a one‑year contract with Brady Industries (DBA Brady Plus) for paper stock; staff presented estimated 2023‑based usage that put Brady as the lowest bidder at roughly $99,363.80 and said one‑year terms were chosen because paper pricing is volatile.
Jamie O'Loughlin recommended that the county accept the overall low bid from Brady Industries (doing business as Brady Plus) and establish one‑year contract pricing for paper stock, explaining the county chose annual terms because the paper market has been volatile and suppliers have struggled to hold prices over multiyear contracts.
O'Loughlin presented an estimated spend based on 2023 usage showing Brady as the low bidder at an estimated $99,363.80, with competing bids listed from Office Depot (about $102,754.63) and Staples (about $117,314.02). Commissioners asked whether the print shop reviewed product brand choices and how projected usage was calculated; O'Loughlin said the estimate used 2023 usage and vendor pricing to compute total projected spend. The motion to accept the bid was moved and seconded and recorded as approved by roll call in the transcript.
