Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Purchasing Office has established Universal Term Contracts for water treatment chemicals with the companies listed below. The Division of Power and Water needs to establish Blanket Purchase Orders, based on these current contracts, for the purchase of water treatment chemicals during 2009.
This legislation also transfers a total of $3,257,113.00 from Object Level One 01 and 06 to Object Level One 02 and 03 within the Division of Power and Water (W). The need to transfer funding within the operating budget was identified in the third quarter budget review, and is necessary in order to align budget authority with projected expenditures. The following changes are requested within Water System Operation Fund 600.
