Summary: District staff wish to piggyback on Shasta Unified High School District's (SUHSD) Request for Proposal (RFP) R6-2019 for Office Equipment and Related Technology and Services, as allowed by California Public Contract Code, Section 20118. Due to the continued supply market uncertainty, and the need to transition out of our current lease, ending December 31, 2022, staff propose the use of a piggyback agreement that best fits the District’s needs for modernizing copiers. We reviewed several existing bids and the services they provided. We also solicited the reviews and opinions of other districts and the services they were using.

Through this process we discovered Ray Morgan Company (RMC), a UBEO Company, and their RFP award with SUHSD. Staff believes this is the best fit for our copier and service needs, as well as an option for other technology services included in their proposal. We will be able to replace our current copiers with new Canon machines at the same or lower cost as we are currently paying. These machines have a higher output than existing machines. Included are cloud-based faxing services, which will also save the District the costs of our fax machines, phone lines, and their service costs.

Upon approval of use of this Piggyback Contract, we will finalize the proposal with RMC. We are still confirming the count of copiers still needed. The proposal will incorporate all the machines currently being leased by the District (Information Technology (IT) Department master lease, as well as sub-leases by sites and departments), and their proposed buyouts. IT will continue to pay for the new leases designated in the prior agreement, and the sites will maintain their extra machine costs at the site level.

Staff is requesting Board approval of for the use of the piggyback agreement with SUHSD, for no more than the identified amount, so that we may finalize the proposal, order machines, and prepare for their installation.
Funding: IT portion will be from Program 50290000 (District Copy Machine Maintenance)
Various site budgets will cover the additional machines wanted by sites and departments
Fiscal Impact $528,267.84 per year ($44,022.32/month) plus any overages and additional taxes
Recommendation: Move to approve the use of the piggyback Request for Proposal R6-2019 from Shasta Unified High School District with Ray Morgan Company, a UBEO Company, for office equipment and related technology and services
