Explanation

BACKGROUND:  Ordinance 0552-2011, passed April 25, 2011, authorized the establishment of a purchase order in the amount of $1,000,000 with Motorola to purchase new and replacement portable and mobile radios and accessories. Inadvertently, the ordinance referenced an incorrect contract number (FL004514). Instead it should have been FL004701. This amendment properly references the correct contract number so that the purchase order can be established. All other aspects of ordinance 0552-2011 remain the same.

These new digital radios to be purchased are upgrades to current older models and will allow for regional radio interoperability with surrounding Public Safety Agencies as well as provide safety to those first responders in the Divisions of Police and Fire.

EMERGENCY; Emergency designation is requested in order to ensure regional radio interoperability with surrounding public safety agencies as soon as possible and also to provide enough radios to Police and Fire recruits to be hired in June and December 2011.

Title

To amend ordinance 0552-2011, passed April 25, 2011, which authorized the establishment of a purchase order with Motorola, Inc. for the purchase of portable and mobile radios and associated accessories for the Divisions of Police and Fire to correct an inadvertently referenced contract number; and to declare an emergency. ($0)

Body

WHEREAS, ordinance 0552-2011, passed April 25, 2011, inadvertently identified an incorrect contract number; and

WHEREAS, it is necessary to amend this ordinance to allow the purchase to proceed; and

WHEREAS, an emergency exists in the usual daily operation of the Public Safety Department, in that it is immediately necessary to correct this inadvertently identified contract number so as to authorize the purchase of portable and mobile radios for the Public Safety Department to ensure regional radio interoperability with surrounding public safety agencies, thereby preserving the public health, peace, property, safety, and welfare, now, therefore,            

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:

SECTION 1.  That ordinance 0552-2011, passed April 25, 2011, be amended in the background and in Section 1 of the body of the ordinance by changing the contract number from FL004514 to FL004701.

SECTION 2.  That for the reasons stated in the preamble hereto, which is hereby made a part hereof, this ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and approval by the Mayor of ten days after passage if the Mayor neither approves nor vetoes the same.
