In view of the foregoing it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Tompkins Printing Equipment Co., in an amount not to exceed $14,490.26.
The estimated expenditures for 2016, 2017, and 2018 are $4,744.63, $4,829.52, and $4,916.11 respectively. Funds for the 2016, 2017, and 2018 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
