Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation waives the provisions of competitive bidding and authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a blanket service agreement with Capital Fire Protection Company to provide fire sprinkler suppression system maintenance and repair services to the Division of Electricity. Repairs are needed for the existing fire suppression system that is failing in certain areas in the North Pump House. Capital Fire Protection Company installed the system in 1952 and they are very familiar with the inner workings of the system. The Division has spent approximately $20,000 with Capital Fire Protection Company for fire sprinkler suppression system maintenance and repair services, on an as-needed basis during 2004, therefore, it is requested that the competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Code be waived for the additional services required to operate the pump house in a safe manner. The division requests a blanket agreement, in the amount of $10,000, with Capital Fire Protection Company for the immediately needed repairs, annual inspection and any contingencies that may arise between now and the time that 2005 budget is approved. Their contract compliance number is 310669763.

Emergency action is requested in order that the necessary repairs can be made as soon as possible.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient budget authority in the 2004 Electricity Operating Fund for this expenditure. $10,000 was spent in 2002 and $14,500 was spent in 2003 for fire sprinkler suppressions system maintenance services.
