SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Authorize an agreement between the City of Clearwater and the Bureau of Business Enterprise (BBE), Division of Blind Services, for a three-year period, with an option to renew for one additional three-year period, to provide employees and city facility patrons with snack vending services and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
BBE, Division of Blind Services, has provided snack vending services at City facilities and recreation centers for the past three years. The current contract with BBE expired on August 31, 2019. The vending services are provided as a convenience for city employees, visitors to city facilities, and recreation center patrons.
This item was previously taken to Council and approved on October 5, 2019. However, since then, the state made changes to the agreement which necessitated this new agreement. The City has been operating month to month with the vendor since August 31, 2019.
The agreement does not change the substance and intent of the previously approved agreement. The primary changes made by the state deal with correcting verbiage regarding the relationship with the third-party vendor and BBE.
Staff is recommending approval of this agreement for a period of three years, with an option to renew for an additional three-year period.
