Great Lakes Petroleum Company was awarded the contract for District 6 which includes Columbus.
This contract was bid specifically to be a cooperative contract for use by other governmental agencies in accordance with Chapter 1545 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). The State of Ohio contract expires April 30, 2012, the funding on this ordinance is for expenses that will occur in the winter months of 2011-2012. The City of Columbus does not have a Universal Term Contract for this product. 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 is attached. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant and Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant require Heating Oil for boilers that heat the buildings throughout the plants. The Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant offsets some of the cost of heating by using naturally created methane. Funding was established in early 2011 for both plants and funding for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant is not needed on this legislation.
