Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a blanket purchase order for the purchase of Woodchips for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage from an established Universal Term Contract.
Woodchips are used as a bulking agent at the Compost Facility within the Division of Sewerage and Drainage and are a vital part of the composting process. To offset the costs of purchasing the material, the Compost Facility has established a wood grinding services contract. The contract allows the Compost Facility to purchase less material if yard waste and trees are delivered to the Compost Facility to be ground into woodchips. In 2006, the Compost Facility was able to produce more woodchips with the service contract. The option to purchase woodchips is still needed. The Purchasing Office has an established Universal Term Contract for the option to obtain Woodchips with Ohio Mulch, FL-002775. The Compost Facility has certified monies within the threshold of Columbus City Code Section 329.
