Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director on behalf of the Fleet Management Division to enter into a contract with Genuine Parts Co/NAPA for one (1) set of four (4) mobile column lifts and a service card kit to update current lift’s software. These mobile column lifts will be utilized by the Department of Finance, Fleet Division for the continued mission of optimal upkeep for all vehicles across several departments in the City of Columbus Fleet.
The Department of Finance and Management Fleet Management Division solicited competitive bids for mobile column lifts and a service card kit in accordance with the relevant provisions of Chapter 329 of City Code. RFQ028864 closed on 10/24/2024. The sole bidder was Genuine Parts Co/NAPA.
Genuine Parts Co / NAPA - $50,382.43
Genuine Parts Co / NAPA contract compliance number 58-0254510 expires 12/04/2025
Fiscal Impact: A total of $50,382.43 will be spent from the Fleet Management Capital Fund 5215 and has been budgeted.
Emergency action is requested due to the instability of the automobile supply chain. The market volatility of all the OEMs continues with the ongoing shortage of chips and other critical supply line parts to produce vehicles. This limited availability is causing vehicles to increase in cost as well as limit their availability. Therefore, emergency legislation is being requested so that Fleet may ensure the pending purchase and delivery of these vehicles.
