Explanation
BACKGROUND: On April 11, 2005 City Council passed Ordinance number 0587-2005 authorizing the Finance Director to increase contract number CT-09367, with Itron, Incorporated, for continued maintenance of software and hardware of a data capturing system. It was noted after legislation passed that the original contract was modified by the Division of Water in order to purchase upgraded hardware and software. The new purchase terminated the old contract. Contract number PR-29519 was entered into in order to replace contract number CT-09367. Therefore, the Division of Water is requesting that Ordinance number 0587-2005 be amended to reflect the correct contract number.
It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner, as we would like to have the new Purchase Order established so we can pay the invoice as quickly as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no additional fiscal impact. We are just correcting an incorrect contract number.
Title
To amend Section 1 of Ordinance number 0587-2005, passed April 11, 2005, to correct the contract number, and to declare an emergency.
