BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Department of Technology (DoT), to associate all General Budget Reservations resulting from this ordinance with the appropriate Universal Term Contract/Purchase Agreement (UTC/PA) for the procurement of APC Smart-UPS SRTs for Columbus Water and Power (CWP).
