Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to establish a purchase order for Lawn Maintenance (mowing) in Zones 1, 2, and 3, from the current City Universal Term Contract (UTC) for these services, for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. Additional mowing sites acquired by the City under the capital improvements program result in a contract above the $100,000 limit in Section 329.07(g), CCC, thus requiring this legislation.
B. Contract Compliance No.: 311432478
C. Type of Business Enterprise: Majority.
D. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is requested; however, this is only because of an extended bidding and award period for the UTC, which has prevented this legislation from being processed until now. Mowing services are needed by approximately April 15, 2005.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
A. Budget Information: The FY2005 Budget allocates a total of 199,050.00 for this purpose.
B. Historical Data: Amounts appropriated to this purpose in recent years are as follows:
FY Amount
2002 $130,100
2003 137,050
2004 160,194
