  15. Q. Eureka, Are Your Business Facilities Adequate For Your Current Needs? 23% of respondents said NO These companies may also be at Risk. What’s the economic footprint of these companies on Eureka’s business fabric?

  16. Doing the Math: What’s the Economic Value to the City for those companies whose Facilities are not adequate? • Gross Economic Impact $45.8 million • Labor Income $18.3 million • Jobs 623 • Indirect Business Tax $2.3 million • 5-year Impact $229 million

  17. Q. Eureka, would you participate in a program if it was easy to use and helped governments and corporations buy goods and services from local companies? 84% of respondents said YES

  18. Q. Eureka, if you answered yes, would you participate as a "buyer" and place at least some of your orders for goods and services in a system to help you locate local suppliers? 92% of respondents said YES they would place their orders in the system

  19. the Impact..Each $1 million retained in the Eureka economy produces $1.3 million in gross economic impact $569k in Payroll 24 jobs $157,000 in indirect business taxes

  20. Eureka - What goods and services do you buy outside the State? • Chemicals, children’s furniture and clothing and accessories, clothes, computer peripherals, computers, diapers by the bale, software and hardware, exercise equipment, supplies, fragrances, essential oils, fabric and supplies, hearing aids and ear molds, medical supplies motorcycles and parts, photographic equipment and supplies, printing, publishing products and equipment, seed, bird feeders, gift items, office equipment, specialty building supplies, sterling silver jewelry, technology equipment, tractors; trailers vending machines, game machines.

  21. Lost Corp Spending Typically, 10 to 15% of corporate purchasing dollars are Arbitrary! Most arbitrary dollars leave the area with little or no effort to contract with local companies. Our job is to capture these monies.

  22. Lost Public Dollars Public buyers use buying pools, strategic sourcing and bundling to obtain the lowest price and often without regard to local vendors or economic initiatives. Purchasing decisions that were made to save “thousands” often cost their community’s million$$.

  23. EXAMPLE (not Eureka) • A CA purchasing department will buy $3.5 million in computer equipment over 3 years. The decision has been narrowed to two suppliers. A local company has bid $3.5 million and an out of area vendor has bid $30k less. The purchasing agent selects the out-of-area bidder . The result of this decision is:

  24. Look close… The expected: Gained - $30,000 The unexpected: Lost - $166,000 in indirect business taxes Lost - $6.5 million in gross economic impact Lost - $1.4 million in payroll Lost - 22 jobs Lost - $313,000 in capital income

  25.
