Executive Summary
The Manager of Warehouse, Property Control, Printing and Records, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board approve piggybacking Florida Buy Cooperative, RFP #21-14, Contract #22-141, Custodial Supplies & Related Products, awarded to Pro-Link, Inc., and authorize the purchase of custodial/janitorial products for an estimated annual spending of $350,000.
This contract will allow the warehouse to stock much needed janitorial/custodial supplies for our schools/sites. Product availability and price increases have been a challenge this school year with our vendors on our previously awarded janitorial contract. This piggyback offers a percentage discount on the full line of products available through the Pro-Link catalog, allowing us to supplement our current contract and maintain stock in our warehouse for schools/sites. Lawton Brothers serves as the local distributor for Pro-Link, Inc. products.
HCSB Bid Number 23-485-28 PB has been assigned for internal tracking purposes.

Financial Impact
The cost for this agenda item is $ 350,000, see attached budget sheet. The cost for the previous fiscal year was $ 350,000.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
