Explanation
Background:
This ordinance will amend Ordinance No. 0230-2006 by adding language to waive the provisions of formal competitive bidding. The original ordinance authorized the Director of Finance and Management to purchase one (1) John Deere Model 5425 diesel 2WD tractor from Taylor & Sons Equipment Company, and one (1) Sitrex Model SM5200 towed 17 foot flex-wing finish rotary mower from Green Thumb Power Equipment, in accordance with the terms and conditions of formal bid SA001856. During the contract award process, it was determined that the bid by Taylor & Sons was submitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the current State Term Schedule pricing, instead of in accordance with the terms and conditions of City of Columbus Bid #SA001856. While the terms and conditions of the STS are acceptable to the City of Columbus, awarding the contract to Taylor & Sons requires that the formal bidding process in Chapter 329 be waived. By waiving these provisions, the City will save $1,200 on the purchase of the tractor from Taylor & Sons Equipment.
The Contract Compliance Number for Taylor & Sons Equipment Co. is #31-0798962.
The Contract Compliance Number for Green Thumb Power Equipment is #31-1346066.
These companies are not debarred according to the Excluded Parties Listing of the Federal government and are not listed in the Auditor of State's database for Findings for Recovery. This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to allow the earliest possible delivery date of this equipment to the Recreation & Parks Department.
Fiscal Impact:
None. Funding was authorized on Ordinance No. 0230-2006.
