Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to associate all General Budget reservations resulting from this ordinance with appropriate Universal Term Contracts for automotive parts on behalf of the Fleet Management Division, in order to repair and service City vehicles. Purchase orders will be issued from Universal Term Contracts previously established by the City of Columbus, Purchasing Office.
During 2018, the Fleet Management Division is budgeted to spend $4.5 million for parts, to keep the City's fleet of approximately 6,000 vehicles in operation. Fleet Management processes over 40,000 work orders annually for all City vehicles and equipment and requires purchase orders with over 400 vendors to help meet this need.
These purchase orders will be issued from the following Universal Term Contracts, established by the City's Purchasing Office. Current Universal Term Contract vendors are as follows:
All Auto Parts on previously established Universal Term Contracts, under the FLT purchasing code specification
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $1,000,000 from the Fleet Management Operating Fund from previously established Universal Term Contracts for parts related to City vehicles. For 2018, the Fleet Management Division budgeted $4.5 million for parts, tires, and supplies to keep the City's vehicle fleet in operation. In 2017, the Fleet Management Division expended $4.8 million for parts.
Emergency action is requested to ensure that purchase orders can be established to ensure an uninterrupted supply of automotive parts, thereby keeping City owned vehicles in operation, including Police, Fire, and Refuse Collection vehicles.
