Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish blanket purchase order for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant to obtain U.S. Filter/Envirex Parts in accordance with an established Universal Term Contract.
U.S. Filter/Envirex Parts are used by the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant for maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of various processes throughout the plant including skimming, digestors and settling basins. Currently the maintenance staff at the plant have a need to procure parts for maintenance and repair of two settling basins.
Items required will be obtained in accordance with the existing Universal Term Contract (FL003729) which expires on December 31, 2009. Legislation is being processed because the Division of Sewerage and Drainage has certified $100,000.00 during this current fiscal year and the amount requested will exceed the threshold allowed without legislation for Universal Term Contracts. The funding for this legislation is for expenses for the Fiscal Year 2008.
SUPPLIER: Siemens Water Technologies (04-3063901) Expires 11-13-08
