Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Planning and Operations is engaged in a project for the rehabilitation of City Alleys. As part of this project various construction debris will be collected and will require disposal. Debris gathered as a result of this project is dumped at the landfill operated by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio.

This legislation authorizes the expenditure of up to $70,000.00 for tipping fees at SWACO's landfill. This legislation also waives the formal competitive bidding requirements of the Columbus City Code. Even though refuse disposal services are available in the market place other than those offered by SWACO, competitive bidding must be waived because of the City's contractual relationship with SWACO. Fees are determined based on SWACO's rate setting process in which the City of Columbus has participated, based upon its membership on the SWACO Board.

2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) contract compliance number is 31-1338559.

3. FISCAL IMPACT
Monies are available within the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Fund for this expense.

4. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is necessary to allow these funds to be available concurrently with the start of this project in April.
