Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish blanket purchase orders for the Purchase of Polymer for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Southerly and Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plants in accordance with a Universal Term Contract established by the Purchasing Office.
Polymer is used at both wastewater treatment plants as a sludge conditioner in the sludge dewatering process. Polymer is needed to change sludge into solid form and is fed into high speed centrifuges. The chemical is used all season and is an important component of the solids handling process at wastewater treatment plants. The Purchasing Office has established a Universal Term Contract FL004578, which expires March 31, 2013 for the purchase of Polymer with Polydyne, Inc.
SUPPLIER: Polydyne Inc (34-1810283) Expires 2-16-12
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.
FISCAL IMPACT: $1,422,000.00 is needed and budgeted for this purchase. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage has established a purchase order in the amount of $78,000.00 per Columbus City Code for funding Universal Term Contracts without legislation, so as to provide sufficient funding for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant until this Ordinance is passed and the purchase orders certified. With this legislation the Division of Sewerage and Drainage will have certified $1,500,000.00 in 2011.
