Background and Discussion:
This is a renewal for term contract Job. No. 21/0220, Sale of Surplus, Worn Out, Damaged Books, Audiovisual and Other Library Materials for Harris County. The original term contract award was approved in Commissioners’ Court. The Harris County Public Library (HCPL) utilizes this term contract for ethical disposal of library materials.
Expected Impact:
The approval of this renewal allows HCPL personnel to continue providing new and current materials for the County Library by allowing us to ethically dispose of old/worn out/damaged materials.
Alternative Options:
Other vendors exist but they were evaluated through the RFP process and this option is the best for the County. The vendor pays reasonable prices for discarded library materials without requiring extensive sorting or other limitations that would limit what the library can send.
