title

BACKGROUND:
The County's current agreement for shredding services is with Viking Shred. The Contractor has been providing essential services which encompass shredding documents to hard drive destruction for all departments. The current agreement was set to expire on October 31, 2024; however, Viking Shred exercised its right to terminate the agreement early, effective June 30, 2024, because it could no longer provide the services for the prices specified in the current agreement, which was entered into in 2021.
DISCUSSION:
County Procurement has conducted Invitation for Bid (IFB) No.1545 and determined the lowest price and responsive bidder is Viking Shred. Viking Shred is highly experienced, with locations in the Bay Area and elsewhere in California, and has provided discounted prices due to the volume of usage.
Staff has negotiated an agreement for an amount not-to-exceed of $590,000 and a term of five years. The parties desire to enter into the agreement, and staff recommends that this Board authorize its execution.
The resolution contains the County's standard provisions allowing amendment of the County fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
The agreement and resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Attorney's Office as to form.
