(Tamara Walker/Fred Lucero 510-621-1562)
DISCUSSION:
Alliance Graphics continues to be the Employment and Training Department’s best source for custom printed products including t-shirts, sweatshirts, and several promotional specialty products. They have also provided excellent embroidery services for polo shirts, jackets, and bags. From shirts to mugs, Alliance Graphics remains a viable source of promotional items for RichmondWORKS and the RichmondBUILD Academy.
Under this contract amendment, Alliance Graphics will continue to provide additional graphic art services and promotional products, as needed.
The Bids-On-Line process was used to announce the original Request for Proposals (RFP), as required by the City’s Local Business Ordinance. Alliance Graphics was the only respondent to the RFP; to date, their services have been outstanding. The Local Employment Ordinance does not apply to this contract because it is not a construction or retail project.
