Rationale: Two Strauss resolutions for custodial supplies are being presented at this meeting. One piggybacking onto BOCES and one piggybacking onto CHAPPAQUA Central Schools.

This is to procure and receive custodial supplies and materials by the end of June 2020 for use in the coming summer from Strauss Paper Co., 10 Slater St., Port Chester, N.Y. 10573 via Southern Westchester BOCES Bid #2018-19-C10 which expired on March 31, 2020.

Due to the CoVID19 crisis this contract could not be renewed in time for the District to fully comply with current practices. It is recommended that this be awarded as presented since Strauss is honoring prices that were bid 3 years ago. It is also understood that this purchase is in compliance with Governor Coumo’s Executive Order 202.
