Explanation

The purpose of this ordinance is to authorize the Director of Finance and Management to enter into contract with Allied Technical Services Inc. for the purchase of two (2) Four (4) inch Dry Prime Portable Pumps for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Sewer Maintenance Operations Center. These pumps will be used by the Sewer Maintenance Operation Center crews to pump storm water and raw sewage.

The apparent low bidder, Nations Rent submitted two bids. Both bids were deemed non-responsive to the specifications. Their bid did not meet specification Section 3.3.3 (Impeller was to be 256 mm, 10-7/16", quote was for 220 mm and 9.74"); 3.5.1 (Impeller was to be made of hardened chromium steel, 2 Blade, quote was for cast and ductile iron, 3 blade); and 3.6.1 (Wear plates are to be adjustable, quote was non-adjustable plates). Therefore, the Division of Sewerage and Drainage recommends an award to the lowest, responsive and responsible and best bidder, Allied Technical Services Inc.
