Administrator Balczun advised that one of the things that <br />has been put in place and that they hope to expand is a process <br />to take care of those items that are repetitiously purchased <br />during the year. Historically a department would go through all <br />the paperwork to reprocess those purchases each time they were <br />made during the year. A term contract more or less relates to <br />creating the paperwork and processing it one time by setting up <br />the sequencing mechanism within the initial purchase order, and <br />it thus reduces the amount of the paperwork. In example, if we <br />have a contract for 12,000 units of something we customarily <br />consume at the rate of 1,000 units a month, we can set up an <br />initial purchase order for the 12,000 units and theoretically <br />schedule 1,000 units a month depending on demand as opposed to <br />going through this purchasing cycle of 1,000 units every month. <br />Commissioner Eggert stated that to her 1,000 units a month <br />preplanned is not the same as "departments will be able to order <br />supplies directly from the vendors on an 'as need' basis." <br />Purchasing Manager Ambler commented that Item 10 on today's <br />agenda is a term contract for utility chemicals, such as <br />chlorine. In the past they issued about 60 purchase orders a <br />year for these chemicals, and he will issue about 7 in the coming <br />year, which is a dramatic reduction. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed that you can actually bid the <br />catalog for something like office supplies, for instance, and he <br />wished to know why we have to have another employee when they are <br />streamlining the process and cutting back on the paperwork. <br />Purchasing Manager Ambler noted that they haven't felt the <br />full effect of these reductions yet. This is the first term <br />contract; they are piled up with paperwork; and have to get it <br />down to a level they can manage. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked what has happened since OMB Director <br />Baird handled this function in the past. <br />46 <br />L!i_dAR 2 9 1988 <br />BOOK 71 PAGE 403 <br />
