Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue purchase orders for credit card fuels purchased through the Voyager Fleet Systems and MPC Investments LLC (Speedway LLC, SuperFleet), unleaded bulk fuel with Beem's BP Distribution, and diesel/biodiesel with Central Ohio Farmers for the Fleet Management Division. A purchase order with Beem's BP Distribution for unleaded bulk fuel deliveries was authorized by Ordinance 0180-2010, through a formal bid conducted by Franklin County. Universal Term Contract have previously been authorized by City Coucnil for Central Ohio Farmers Co-Op, Voyager Fleet Systems, and MPC Investments LLC (Speedway LLC, SuberFleet).
This ordinance also waives the competitive bidding process of the Columbus City Codes, in order to allow the continued use of Franklin County's contract with Beem's BP Distribution. This will allow uninterrupted unleaded fuel at the lowest possible price. The City does not have a formal cooperative purchasing agreement with Franklin County, as it does with the State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services; however, this County contract was competitively bid and it is the City's best interests to purchase from it as better pricing is not anticipated by bidding separately. Accordingly, the competitive bidding provisions of the City Codes must be waived in order to participate in this Franklin County Commissioners contract.
This ordinance also authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish purchase orders and expend funds for automotive and truck parts with Genuine Auto Parts/NAPA under the terms and conditions of a previously established universal term contract.
This ordinance also authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish purchase orders with various Fleet Management vendors for emergency parts.
