Explanation

The purpose of Ordinance 2084-2017 was to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into contract for the Project Dry Basement: Backwater Valve Installation and Sump Pump program.

Within the ordinance it allowed for the Director of Public Utilities to enter into contract with TFH-EB, Inc. dba The Waterworks under the Federal ID #26-3682527 and the address of 1999 Longwood Avenue, Grove City, Ohio 43123, for the Project Dry Basement: Backwater Valve Installation and Sump Pump program. The company has now confirmed that they will be operating under Federal ID #31-1162504 and the address of 550 Schrock Road, Columbus, Ohio 43229.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional funds are requested at this time. Auditor’s Certificate #ACPO002175 from Ordinance 2084-2017 will be utilized to establish the new contract after this Ordinance has passed.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency to allow for the establishment of the contract under the correct company name, address and FID number without delay.
