Explanation
The Department of Public Utilities previously entered into a contract with Crane 1 Services, Inc. to provide for the annual inspection, certification, submittal of an annual report discussing the findings of inspections, and needed maintenance and repair or replacement of approximately 141 cranes and hoists, and a number of hoisting appurtenances, all in use in the facilities of the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This equipment is used for routine maintenance and repair of various process equipment; allowing equipment to be returned to service quickly while maintaining peak operational efficiency.
More recently the submission of Ordinance 1460-2016, passed City Council on June 27, 2016 to allow the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract modification No. 2 with this company, to provide repairs that will allow safety-rated operational equipment to be returned to service quickly at maintenance and processing facilities. While processing the paperwork for the new modification, it was learned that the company had been purchased by an investment firm, hence a new Federal Identification Number had been established that the Division was previously unaware of. Therefore, this Ordinance is to authorize the assignment of all past, present and future business done by the City of Columbus with Crane 1 Services, Inc., FID #20-8314375, to be assigned to Crane 1 Services, Inc., FID #47-5210405.
