Report
Summary
To continue mitigating the spread of COVID-19, the Housing Department is requesting an increase in funding to purchase more reusable face masks and hand sanitizer for Public Housing residents from local manufacturing companies. The initial authorization was approved by the City Council on June 26, 2020 via Ordinance S-46802 to purchase reusable face masks and hand sanitizer and provide to residents free of charge. Due to the continued need to wear face coverings in public, more funding will allow the department to provide these supplies to residents to help reduce the spread of germs as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Financial Impact
With the $65,000 in additional funds, the contracts' revised value is now $95,000. There is no impact to the General Fund. Funds will come from federal grant resources.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
These contracts are the result of a Request for Quotations and were approved by City Council on June 26, 2020.
