Explanation

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Finance and Management to purchase three (3) Bucket Trucks from CTOS, LLC dba Custom Truck One Source for the Division of Power. The Bucket Trucks will be used by the Division of Power to maintain the City’s electrical distribution system and other related infrastructure. This purchase has been approved by the Division of Fleet Management and will replace BT #23552, BT #23954 and BT #23955.

The Division of Power provides electrical service to Columbus residents and businesses. We currently have bucket trucks on order, however, it will be a minimum of two years before they will be delivered. Due to long lead times associated with the production and delivery of new vehicles, this critical operation does not have enough functional vehicles to fulfill daily operations. Therefore, the purchase of readily available vehicles appropriate for this type of operation is necessary to avoid the interruption of City services.

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.

SUPPLIER: CTOS, LLC dba Custom Truck One Source, Vendor #032572, CC # in process, majority vendor

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: The Department of Public Utilities respectfully requests this legislation be considered for immediate use to avoid interruption of City services due to the Division of Power not having enough functional vehicles to fulfill daily operations requiring this type of truck.

FISCAL IMPACT: $673,980.00 has been budgeted for this purchase.

$271,022.00 was expended in 2022
