Explanation

Background: This ordinance authorizes and directs the Finance Director to issue a purchase order to Powerscreen of Ohio, Inc., for the purchase of power screen parts. These parts are used for maintenance and repair of the Trommel screen equipment at the Compost facility. The power screen equipment is used to separate the compost product used in daily sludge processing. It is not possible for the Fleet Management Division to anticipate all parts and service requirements thereby precluding formal competitive bidding. Because of these circumstances, the City cannot purchase all parts, supplies, accessories and services from City-wide contracts. However, to ensure the City receives the best possible prices, the Fleet Management Division solicits quotes by phone or in writing.

Fiscal Impact: This request is for $30,000.00, which is a budgeted expenditure and Fleet Management has sufficient appropriation.
CC# 621227239, expires 05/23/2005

Emergency legislation is requested to ensure much needed replacement of old, worn screen parts. These pieces of equipment are used daily and are a necessary part of the composting process.
