Explanation

This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Environmental Systems Corporation for maintenance and software upgrade for the Incinerator Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) at the Southerly and Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plants. This agreement is being entered into under the Sole Source provisions provided under Section 329.07 of Columbus City Code.

CEMS provides continuous regulatory stack emissions monitoring as required by state and federal regulations 40 CFR Part 60 and 40CFR Part 503. The current systems were purchased and installed under a CIP Project, Contract S56 and J196 in 1998 and are in need to be upgraded. Environmental Systems Corporation installed the original systems and is the sole provider of the software, maintenance and licenses for this upgrade.

Sole Source Supplier: Environmental Systems Corporation (62-0807987)

FISCAL IMPACT: $85,900.00 is needed for the project and is budgeted.

Emergency legislation is being requested because it is critical that this work be completed prior to the end of the year when system generated annual regulatory reports are due to the Ohio and U.S. EPA.
