Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish a purchase order with Tarazi LLC in the amount of $9,799.00 for the purchase of natural gas sensing equipment services per the results of bid solicitation RFQ020022. This bid was processed in accordance with the competitive bidding provisions of Columbus City Code. Two (2) bids were received and opened for RFQ020022 on October 25, 2021 from the following respondents:
Tarazi LLC (vendor #031380; CC# CC031380; exp. 11/18/2021 MAJ) $9,799.00
McNaughton McKay Electric (vendor #007637; CC# 383301318; exp. 10/8/2022 MAJ) $0.00
McNaughton McKay submitted an incomplete bid response and was therefore deemed non-responsive. As such, the Fleet Management Division recommends a bid award to the sole responsive and responsible bidder, Tarazi LLC.
Emergency action is requested so that necessary natural gas sensing equipment can be installed as soon as possible, thereby ensuring the proper employee safety standards.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $9,799.00 from the Fleet Management Capital Fund with Tarazi LLC for the purchase of natural gas sensing equipment services. The Fleet Management Division budgeted $400,000 for capital funded projects. In 2019 $278,701.00 was expended for capital funded projects.
