Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation is being submitted in order to repeal Ordinance No. 1860-2012, which was created to authorize the Finance & Management Director to enter into contract for the purchase of three (3) Bell Manual Side Loader Refuse Trucks with the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Option from Center City International Trucks for Division of Refuse Collection.
Since the award the vendor has stated it cannot produce the requested vehicles due to the inability to acquire the specified engine type and size. Therefore a new award must be completed to purchase diesel powered manual side loader refuse trucks.
The Department of Public Service recommends the new award of the contract as follows:
Vendor / Unit Cost / Cost of 2 Inspections / Total Cost for 4 Trucks with Diesel Option plus inspection
FYDA Freightliner / $150,250.00 / $4,000.00 / $605,000.00
2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
The contract compliance number for FYDA Freightliner is 31-0789102 and expires 09/07/2014.
3. FISCAL IMPACT
This expense is budgeted within the 2012 Capital Improvement Budget.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency Action is requested so that a purchase order can be issued as soon as possible, thereby ensuring that the Division of Refuse has the equipment to pick up the daily waste stream of the City of Columbus residents and to secure the vehicles before the bid expires.
