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 Franklin County Purchasing Office. This contract was bid specifically to be a cooperative contract for use by other governmental agencies. The contract expires December 31, 2004.

The Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant and Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant requires Heating Oil for boilers that heat the buildings throughout the plant. Oil required will be obtained in accordance with the Cooperative Contract.

The Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant used Heating Oil for both heating the buildings and the incineration process. In 2003 the Southerly plant began utilizing natural gas for the incineration process. However, the plant's boilers that heat buildings require heating oil. Usage to date has been higher than anticipated and additional funding is requested for expected invoicing through the end of 2004.

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

FISCAL IMPACT: $310,000.00 is being transfered in separate legislation for this purpose.

$280,000.00 was spent in 2003

Emergency legislation is being requested so that the supply of heating oil to heat the buildings at plants and payment of invoices reveived can continue without interruption.
