Explanation

BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase Traffic Signal Controller Equipment for the Transportation Division, Department of Public Service. The term of the proposed option contract would through February 28, 2009 with the option to renew for one additional year, if mutually agreed. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on October 27 2005.

The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA001783). Forty bids were solicited (MAJ:38, FBE:2); two (MAJ: 2, FBE: 1) bids were received.

This Company is not debarred according to the Excluded Parties listing of the Federal Government and is not listed in the Auditor of State database for Findings for Recovery.

Item #11 will not be awarded as neither responsive bidder provided a quote for the item. The Purchasing Office is recommending award of one contract to the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidder:

Path Master, Inc. CC# 341233777, Items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35.
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $275,000.00

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Purchasing Contract Account. City Agencies will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.

Title

To authorize and direct the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract for the option to purchase Traffic Signal Controller Equipment with Path Master, Inc. to authorize the expenditure of one dollar to establish the contract from the Purchasing/Contract Operation Fund, and to declare an emergency.
