关于客户
The Housing Authority of Monroe County, PA, is a public sector organization responsible for providing affordable housing solutions to residents in Monroe County. The authority is led by Joe Ruggiero, the Director of Capital Improvements, who is tasked with overseeing various housing projects and ensuring they are completed efficiently and cost-effectively. The authority aims to improve the living conditions of its residents by undertaking various capital improvement projects, such as tree trimming and kitchen renovations. The organization operates within the guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and often seeks innovative solutions to optimize its procurement processes and save costs.
挑战
Joe Ruggiero, Director of Capital Improvements at the Housing Authority of Monroe County, PA, needed a reliable vendor for tree trimming services for a housing project. He faced the challenge of finding a cost-effective and dependable vendor, as the preferred co-op in Pennsylvania (COSTARS) did not have a suitable option. Additionally, the communication gap between the 90,000 agencies made it difficult to find new opportunities and vendors.
解决方案
Joe Ruggiero utilized the GovSpend application to find a reliable vendor for the tree trimming service. By using the application, he discovered that a peer agency in Lackawanna County was using a vendor not listed on the preferred co-op in Pennsylvania (COSTARS). This vendor had an ongoing contract with the peer agency, indicating reliability and established relationships. Joe decided to piggyback on the existing contract, securing the same rate for his own agency. This approach allowed him to save $50,000 on the tree trimming service. The GovSpend application facilitated the process by providing a platform to find new opportunities and vendors, ensuring compliance with HUD regulations while saving time and effort.
