Explanation

This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a service agreement with Environmental Systems Corporation to upgrade the Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) at the Southerly and Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant. This agreement is being entered into under the Sole Source provisions provided under Section 329.07 of Columbus City Code.

The current CEMS equipment and software is outdated and no longer will be supported by the company after April 2010. It has become necessary for the software and hardware to be upgraded to the most recent version. CEMS provides continuous regulatory stack emissions monitoring as required by state and federal regulations.  The current systems were purchased and installed in 1998. Environmental Systems Corporation installed and developed the software and hardware and is the sole provider of the software, maintenance, and licenses for this upgrade.

Environmental Systems Corporation will provide with this upgrade, support and maintenance, licenses fees, software and hardware. The maintenance agreement for the new software will be for one (1) year to and including September 30, 2010. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage will need to annually enter into an agreement with ESC for the annual support of the software.
