Summary:  This time extension will allow Cook County Agencies to continue to purchase maintenance, repair and operations supplies, parts, and materials while negotiations are completed and a competitively solicited new contract is presented to the board.  Negotiations on terms and conditions have required additional time to resolve and therefore delayed finalization of the contract in time to make the December board. 
 
This contract was awarded through a publicly advertised Request for Proposals in accordance with Cook County Procurement Code.  W.W. Grainger was selected based on established evaluation criteria.
