BACKGROUND:
The Reprographics Division of the Information Technology Department (IT) manages the City's multi-functional copiers, which include copy, print, scan, and fax capabilities. This is the IT's standard offering for printing/scanning across all City departments.
In 2015, RFP 15-181 resulted in awarding a Cost-per-Copy Program to Canon. This program consists of four Printer Groups with four non-coterminous contracts, each with a five-year term. The Cost-per-Copy-Program pricing and terms include all costs (copier/printer/scanner equipment, ink, maintenance, and support). It does not include paper. Under this program, the start dates of the four Printer Group contracts are staggered over four years. This enables IT to stagger printer deployments and replacements over multiple years, which helps lower operational costs and improve operational efficiencies.
This Cooperative Contract was not available when the program began in 2015. At this time three of the four Printer Group contracts have been replaced with cooperative contracts. Only Printer Group 4 remains to be replaced under the OMNIA cooperative contract.

The term of the contract is from June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2029. ...
