Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and renew a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Roto Rooter for emergency plumbing services. The original contract with Roto Rooter was formally bid through RFQ001797. Legislation was not necessary to establish the original contract because the total amount did not exceed $20,000.00. This ordinance seeks authority for the first of three one-year renewal provisions provided for within the initial contract. This ordinance also seeks authority to modify the contract period to ensure that if conforms with the operational needs of the Facilities Management Division.
The Department of Finance and Management is pleased with the services provided by this vendor and requests approval to extend the contract per the original terms of the agreement. This contract renewal will also be funded with Public Safety funds as certain grease trap renovations are needed at Fire Station 18 and 29, and additional grease trap renovations are anticipated. These renovations require excavation and replacement of existing plumbing lines and installation of new plumbing infrastructure. It should be noted that prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to allow for the uninterrupted continuation of emergency plumbing services.
