File Attachment:
RFB 5754 CDW Government LLC Chrome Devices - Extension Letter.pdf
Background: The Administration is requesting authorization to waive the three-year term limits of Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) and extend a blanket agreement with CDW Government LCC ("CDW") to provide Chrome devices.

CDW was originally chosen pursuant to RFB 5754 which closed on July 10, 2017. The original blanket agreement provided for two one-year options to extend if certain performance metrics were met. The extension options were previously exercised, and the current contract expired on June 30, 2020. The waiver of Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) is being sought as a result of the three-year maximum contract term being surpassed. The Department of Procurement currently has a bid issued, B 5788 for Chrome devices, which is set to close on August 28, 2020. Due to the need for immediate continuation of purchases for the district, the Administration is requesting authorization for a fourth term while the Administration completes B 5788 and issues a new award.

This third extension will run from September 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020. The total cost of the blanket agreement in this extension term will not exceed $6,028,000.
Fiscal Impact Statement: This item authorized expenditures as indicated in the attachment.
