Explanation
Background:
This ordinance will establish an Auditor's Certificate and authorize the expenditures for the purchase of needed equipment through the City of Columbus Purchasing office. All bids will be obtained and contracts awarded using City Code 329, however this legislation will set up all the required funding to enter into contracts with the vendors on an as-needed basis.
All equipment will be bid through the City of Columbus Purchasing System and all contracts will be approved by the Director of Finance and Management. The equipment list below provides estimates only.
In order to have all the equipment available for the 2012 Fall/2013 Spring seasons, it is necessary to authorize this expenditure to have the funding and approval complete when the bidding has been finalized. Emergency legislation is required to proceed with the funding for equipment immediately while the bidding is in process.
Competitive bids will be solicited and opened by the Purchasing Office or obtained through any current universal term contract for the following pieces of equipment:
