Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities requires the operators of our treatment plants and distribution system to be licensed by the State of Ohio. They receive specialized utility operations and maintenance training through the Operator Training Committee of Ohio (OTCO). OTCO is the State of Ohio's Environmental Training Center under the Clean Water Act. For this reason, the Department of Public Utilities would like to enter into a sole-source contract with the Operator Training Committee of Ohio for specialized utility operations and maintenance training for department personnel, in the amount of $60,000.00. This contract will run through March 31, 2012. The Federal Identification Number for the Operator Training Committee of Ohio is 31-6065198. They are classified as a non-profit organization and do not require a contract compliance number.

The company is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient budget authority for this purchase.
$20,000.00 was encumbered in 2009 and $75,000.00 was encumbered in 2008 for specialized utility operations and maintenance training. This ordinance is contingent on the passage of the 2011 operating budget.
