| Why the Change? As of October 2020, AccuShred will be charging a $5.00 "readiness" fee for departments who are holding onto an empty or partially filled AccuShred shredding container. Their and most shredding companies rely on regular pick up of their asset containers, and largely as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, containers have been idle for a significant period of time. AccuShred's complete Price List can be found at https://procurement.wayne.edu/online/rfp-doc-shredding-svcs-2019costsched-revised-9-2020.pdf. The $5.00 amount is listed in the lower left corner of the page.

| Original Change in our Strategic Source Contract pricing for document shredding services expired September 31, 2019. In addition, the University's Strategic Partner at that time, Shred Legal, was acquired by another firm in July of 2018. In anticipation of future shredding needs, the Procurement Department competitively bid document shredding services this past September and has entered into relationship with AccuShred per the University's Standard Service Provider Performance Agreement, October of 2019. The University and AccuShred will work together to create a mutually acceptable Standard Performance Provider Agreement, cementing the relationship for the next 3 years. What's changed? A cross departmental evaluation committee was assembled, which provided Procurement with insight into the specific concerns and issues related to the shredding services they require. Procurement executed a competitive bid and worked with the cross department team to evaluate the Proposals. Included in the evaluation were a cost comparison and Vendor Presentation. With AccuShred, the University will continue to enjoy the services of a single company that will maintain a weekly route and work with individual Departments regarding their individual shredding needs. This vendor is located in Toledo, Ohio and has a fleet and routing system that will guarantee service to the University as it serves all of its Detroit Customers. Benefits - A single vendor with which to interface and a single point of contact.
- A single vendor and dedicated crew that will learn all the various stops and areas where they can park, to service the various departments on campus.
- A single vendor to work with to resolve any production or invoicing issues Procurement will oversee the Vendor's performance through business review meetings.
- Easy, convenient interface for building your document shredding requests without leaving the office.
