Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation is to authorize the assignment of all past, present, and future business done by the City of Columbus with CH2M Hill, Inc. to CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc. This change will reflect a company name change and federal identification number change for all contracts and purchase orders established with CH2M Hill, Inc.
CH2M Hill, Inc. will now become CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc. and the previous vendor number / federal identification number 59-0918189 will change to 32-0100027. CH2M Hill, Inc. submitted the following statements in regards to the change:
CH2M HILL has decided to restructure our approach to delivering U.S. Federal and Non-Federal work. Today, the firm conducts business in both U.S. Federal and Non-Federal (commercial) markets, and until now, a significant portion of our Non-Federal business has been housed in the same entities that were set up to satisfy the heavily regulated U.S. Federal market. This change is intended to create a stronger client focus and more efficient delivery approach in both Federal and Non-Federal markets.
CH2M HILL's leadership has decided to move our commercial work out of U.S. Federal entities and into Non-Federal (commercial) entities. This will help us release our Non-Federal business from regulatory requirements that apply to our Federal business only and enhance our compliance position with the U.S. Federal Government.
CH2M HILL wants to assign Contracts from CH2M HILL, Inc. (INC) to CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. (CHE). CHE will assume all of the rights and benefits under the Contract, but the liabilities and obligations under the Contract will still remain with INC, thereby resulting in no change to the City's degree of protection in accordance with the terms of Agreements and subsequent task orders/amendments.
