Explanation

This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish blanket purchase order for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Sewer Maintenance Operations Center to obtain Construction Castings in accordance with an established Universal Term Contract (UTC).

Construction castings are used by Sewer Maintenance Operations Center crews for various maintenance and rehabilitation projects. Items required will be obtained in accordance with the existing Universal Term Contract (FL002588) which expires on May 31, 2007.

The funding for this legislation is for expenses for  Fiscal Year 2006.

SUPPLIER:  Neenah Foundry (39-1580331)

FISCAL IMPACT: $40,000.00 is budgeted and needed for this purchase.

$100,000.00 is certified in 2006

$150,000.00 was spent in 2005

Emergency legislation is being requested so that there is not an interruption of supply for these items during the remainder of 2006.
