Explanation

This legislation will enable the Division of Sewerage and Drainage to obtain Heating Oil in accordance with a cooperative purchasing contract bid by the State of Ohio, GDC027E, Contract Number OP914204. This contract was bid specifically to be a cooperative contract for use by other governmental agencies in accordance with Chapter 1545 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). The State of Ohio contract expires April 30, 2006, the funding on this ordinance is for expenses that will occur in the winter months. The City of Columbus does not currently have a contract for this product. As a member of the Central Ohio Organization of Public Purchasers (CO-OPP), the City of Columbus is authorized to purchase from this contract.

The Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant and Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant requires Heating Oil for boilers that heat the buildings throughout the plants. The Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant offsets some of the cost of heating by using naturally created methane. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage certified $390,000.00 at the end of fiscal year 2005, however, the increase in fuel pricing and volatility of the market, money being established on this ordinance is for additional monies to purchase heating oil for the winter month of 2006. Current pricing at the time this legislation is being processed was $1.9296/gallon for #2 Heating Oil

SUPPLIER: BP Products North America Incorporated (36-2440313)
