Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish a purchase order for the Department of Public Utilities, for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Equipment from Trimble Navigation Limited. The purchase of this equipment will be in accordance with the current State of Ohio STS Contract, Contract Number STS564 which expires on February 28, 2014. The City of Columbus does not include this equipment on any Universal Term Contract and does not foresee receiving better pricing through a bid process.
The modular Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) combines the hand held GNSS receiver, antenna, radio-modem, and battery into a single integrated, compact unit. This configuration will provide significant benefits to field survey crews within the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, GIS Mapping and Damage Prevention Section, by giving them GNSS technology in a user-friendly system that is lightweight, rugged and cable free. Additionally, the system will enable our field survey crews to collect more reliable data, which in turn will lower administrative costs and improve efficiency.
Ordinance 582-87 authorizes the City of Columbus to participate in cooperative purchasing contracts and as a member of the Central Ohio Organization of Public Purchasers (CO-OPP), the City of Columbus is authorized to purchase from this contract.
A copy of the State of Ohio contract and pricing structure is attached to this legislation. The funding requested on this legislation is based on a quote dated November 8, 2013 and is the State of Ohio contract pricing. The quotation is on file with the Purchasing Office and attached to this legislation.
The company is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.
