Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service is responsible for snow and ice control on the City’s roadway system. In removing snow and ice, the department uses a variety of deicing chemicals. The department has determined it is in the best interest of the City to utilize the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) deicing chemical contracts that are available to us.

This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Department of Public Service, to establish purchase orders, enter into contracts, create purchase agreements, and associate all general budget reservations resulting from this ordinance with the appropriate purchase agreement necessary from existing and future ODOT chemical deicing contracts to obtain deicing chemicals for the 2021-2022 winter season.

Ordinance 2237-2019 authorizes the City of Columbus to purchase from cooperative ODOT purchasing contracts. This ordinance seeks approval for the Finance and Management Director on behalf of the Department of Public Service to use ODOT’s contract number 124-22. ODOT 124-22 includes the following six vendors: Chloride Solutions, LLC, EnviroTech Services, Inc., Great Lakes Chloride, Inc., Harmoney Deicing Products Inc., Innovative Municipal Products (US), Inc., K-Tech Specialty Coatings, Inc., and Nature’s Own Source, LLC.
