Amendment to Ordinance 1410-2010 - tabled 10/18


Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
Section 5513.01 (B) of the Ohio Revised Code authorizes the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation to allow political subdivisions to participate in Ohio Department of Transportation contracts for the purchase of machinery, materials, supplies or other articles which the Department has entered into. This legislation will authorize the Director of Finance and Management to participate in these contracts, subject to Council approval. This authorization will be valid for only a two year period in accordance with the limitations set by the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Additionally, this ordinance waives the competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Codes for all purchases to be established from this ODOT cooperative purchasing program. On a case by case basis, purchases deemed to be in the best interests of the City and those for which the value of purchasing from an ODOT established contract contain better or terms than what we believe we can otherwise secure, we will present ordinances for the purchase of machinery, materials, supplies or other articles to City Council for authorization.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
None

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to have this agreement in place for the Division of Planning and Operations use of these contracts for the purchase of Dump Truck components so that these dump trucks may be available during the 2011 winter season.

Title
