MOTION
Upon recommendation of Marqaicha Welch, Procurement Manager, the Board of Water Commissioners for the City of Detroit, Water and Sewerage Department, authorizes the Director to approve DWSD Contract 6007207 with Sehi Computer Products, Inc., to piggyback off the City of Detroit Contract 6006128, for the purchase of computer printers and ancillary equipment; for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $120,000.00 and a term of 1 year. This also authorizes the Director to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
This proposed contract is a request to piggyback the City of Detroit Contract 6006128 for the purchase of computer printers and ancillary equipment. This new contract will help DWSD with its recurring and ongoing need for equipment. By DWSD having its own contract it will eliminate the necessity for the City’s contract to be amended for DWSD’s purchases. Having DWSD’s own contract allows for better control over our own budget. The City of Detroit’s contract expires in 2027, however, DWSD does not, at this time, intend to use this piggyback contract beyond May 31, 2026.
PROCUREMENT METHOD
DWSD Information Technology Department is requesting to piggyback on existing City of Detroit Contract 6006128. The City of Detroit (CoD) advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) #184015 via Oracle Fusion from 11/3/23 to 12/4/23. Seven proposals were received. The contract was awarded to Sehi Computer Products, Inc. as a highest ranked responsive and responsible vendor. CoD Contract 6006128 was approved by City Council on 5/21/24.
This DWSD proposed piggyback contract was initiated through requisition #533495 and approved by budget on 4/29/25. DWSD Procurement confirmed that the vendor has agreed to the request to piggyback off the CoD contract. Therefore, DWSD is requesting approval to utilize the CoD contract with Sehi Computer Products, Inc for computer printers and ancillary equipment at the same pricing and scope, DWSD terms & conditions will apply.
Sehi has approved clearances and expire 3/12/26; a formal contract has been sent to the vendor for signature.
