Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation requests approval to reallocate $430,000.00 from an existing Auditor's Certificate (AC028151) originally established for Universal Term Contracts (UTC) in the amount of $1,540,000.00 to a new Auditor's Certificate to fund NAPA, Sutphen, and Center City for the purchase of automotive parts, supplies, and accessories. AC028151 was established in Ordinance #0097-2008, passed by Columbus City Council on February 11, 2008, and authorized the Finance and Management Director to issue purchase orders for automotive parts, supplies, and accessories. These vendors were inadvertently omitted from the previous ordinance. Formal competitive bids were taken by the Purchasing Office and a Universal Term Contract is in place for the parts, supplies, and accessories from NAPA (NAPA CC# 580254510 expires 3/3/08) . Two purchase orders for Sutphen and Center City (Sutphen Corporation CC# 310671786 expires 3/3/10 and Center City International CC# 311048371 expires 9/30/08) authorized by this ordinance are awarded through the sole source procurement provisions of the Columbus City Codes. $430,000.00 is to be reallocated amongst NAPA, Sutphen, and Center City.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Finance and Management Department has a need to reallocate $430,000.00 from an existing Auditor's Certificate (AC028151) originally established for Universal Term Contracts (UTC) in the amount of $1,540,000.00 to a new Auditor's Certificate to fund NAPA, Sutphen, and Center City. This reallocation will not increase expenditures.
EMERGENCY: Emergency action is requested in order to ensure an uninterrupted supply of vehicle parts, supplies, and accessories, thereby keeping City owned vehicles in operation, including police cruisers and refuse collection equipment.
