Explanation
1. NEED: The need for this legislation arises due to a change in form, from sole proprietorship to corporation with accompanying change in Federal ID Number and Columbus Contract Compliance/Vendor Number, by the contractor for Janitorial Services for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The contractor failed to notify the Division's using section of this change until after passage of the authorizing legislation for the current modification of this contract. The legislation must be amended to allow execution of a valid modification of contract with the entity, and continuation of essential services to the Division.
2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: This designation is necessary to avoid an interruption of necessary services to the Division, and arises due to lack of notice by the contractor.
