Explanation
The Transportation Division is responsible for routine and emergency street repairs and maintenance throughout the year. The Division uses asphalt emulsion in its surface treatment program to effect repairs and maintenance to streets, gravel alleys and berms. It is also used in its Rosco patching machines to patch potholes on city streets.
The Purchasing Office has established a citywide universal term contract no. FL003624 with Phillips Oil Company of Central Ohio, Incorporated, contract compliance #208200717 (Expiring 2/27/10), for the purchase of asphalt emulsion. This legislation will authorize the expenditure of $62,000.00 for asphalt emulsion using the universal term contract.
Emergency action is requested to allow immediate expenditure of the necessary funds for the purchase of this material due to the high amount of these repairs that have occurred already this year.
