Explanation

Background: This ordinance authorizes the City Auditor to set up an auditor’s certificate in the amount of $337,150.00 for the purchase of portable toilet rental services for the Recreation and Parks Department. These expenditures are from a citywide universal term Contract (UTC) for portable toilet rental services established by the Purchasing Office in the Department of Finance and Management. This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of more than $100,000.00 from an individual UTC by a single agency in a calendar year in compliance with the procurement provisions of the Columbus City Codes Chapter 329. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Recreation and Parks Department, to associate all general budget reservations resulting from this ordinance to the current UTC purchase agreements for portable toilet rental services and enter into contract for portable toilet rental services.

The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department has a need to provide portable toilets at numerous City-owned and operated parks, golf courses, sports fields, and special events throughout the City. This service promotes the health and safety of visitors and patrons. The Department of Finance and Management has established UTC’s with United Rentals North America, per PA006218, and Johnny on the Spot, per PA006217, for portable toilet rental services. The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department expects to incur single-year expenditures that exceed $100,000.00 from purchase orders established in accordance the UTC with United Rentals North America. The total annual expenditures projected in fiscal year 2023 for the purchase of portable rental toilet services is approximately $337,150 for the entire Recreation and Parks Department. This ordinance is contingent on the passage and issuance of the 2023 operating budget.
