Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to modify contracts with Altec Inc. dba Altec Industries, Inc., in order to pay surcharges passed along from suppliers. Proper documentation was received and approved by Purchasing and the Department of Public Utilities.
The Department of Public Utilities aka Columbus Water & Power (CWP) has placed orders with several vendors for different types of equipment over the past three years, however due to the long lead times for production and delivery in the post-pandemic marketplace, many surcharges are being assessed by the manufacturers and their suppliers.
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to modify the existing contracts to add the surcharges of up to $19,652.00 for the trucks. CWP feels these changes are acceptable considering the supply chain issues and increased material costs therein, and the vehicles offered by the contracted vendor will meet the needs of CWP and maintain the replacement of aged vehicles in the Division of Power’s fleet. The following vehicles were assessed for surcharges:
