9 WHEREAS, on December 19, 2023, the City Commission approved the piggyback renewal
10 with Amazon Business to purchase supplies with an annual expenditure of $300,000; and
l WHEREAS, the requested increase of $150,000 is necessary to support the continued
12 procurement of essential supplies for all City departments. These supplies include, but are not
13 limited to, IT hardware, office supplies, library program materials, police and fire equipment, utility
14 tools, and hard-to-source fleet parts; and
15 WHEREAS, this funding is critical to ensure that departments can maintain operations and
16 perform their core functions without disruption. The additional amount will allow the City to meet
17 ongoing demand and avoid delays in service delivery due to supply shortages; and
18 WHEREAS, this purchase agreement piggybacks the Omnia Partners Online Marketplace
19 Contract. Omnia Partners is a purchasing organization for state and local government, K-12
20 education, colleges, and universities. All contracts available have been competitively solicited and
21 publicly awarded by a government entity serving as the leading agency, utilizing industry best
22 practices and processes. Piggyback contracts significantly benefit the City of Boynton Beach by
23 providing a cost-effective and efficient way to procure goods and services. By leveraging
24 agreements already in place with other governmental entities, the City can avoid the time-
25 consuming and expensive process of issuing its own competitive bids. This allows quicker access
26 to needed resources while often securing more favorable pricing due to the economies of scale
27 achieved through larger contracts. Additionally, piggybacking ensures the City can tap into pre-
28 vetted vendors who have already been thoroughly evaluated, reducing administrative burdens
29 and risks associated with vendor selection. Ultimately, piggyback contracts streamline
30 procurement, save taxpayer money, and improve the efficiency of City operations; and
