Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to establish a
purchase order for Lawn Maintenance services from a newly-established City
Universal Term Contract (UTC), for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.

B. Contract Compliance No.: 542132085.

C. Type of Business Enterprise: Majority.

D. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is requested for this
measure, solely because the mowing season is already here, and delays
in bidding the newly-established UTC have only now made it available for
use. Mowing of vegetation for the Division's facilities is not only required
for appearance and community relations, but also to control noxious weeds
and to provide proper operation of ditches, detention basins, and levees.


2. FISCAL IMPACT:

A. Budget Information. The FY2004 Budget allocates a total of $161,650 for
this purpose.

B. Historical Data. Division facilities requiring mowing are constantly increasing
in number, as capital improvements projects are accepted into the system. In
FY2004, significant new portions of the West Columbus Local Protection
Project ("Floodwall") are being accepted. Amounts appropriated to this
purpose in recent years are as follows:

FY2001 $117,200
FY2002 130,100
FY2003 137,050


3. PROJECT LOCATION:

This contract involves all of the Division's major facilities, City-wide.
