Explanation
Background: The Transportation Division is responsible for routine and emergency street repairs and maintenance throughout the year. The Division uses emulsified asphalt, winter hot mix, cold mix, winter patch, and crushed limestone in its surface treatment program to effect repairs and maintenance to streets, gravel alleys and berms and patch potholes. Additionally, liquid calcium chloride is applied to and mixed with salt to increase its effectiveness for snow and ice control at low temperatures.
The Purchasing Office has either established or is in the process of establishing citywide universal term contracts with various vendors for these commodities. This ordinance authorizes the procurement of these commodities per the terms and conditions of universal term contracts as follows:
Commodity / Vendor / Contract Number / Amount
Emulsified Asphalt / Phillips Oil Company, Incorporated, of Ohio / FL002383 / $100,000.00
Winter Hot Mix / Apple-Smith Corporation / pending / $25,000.00
Cold Mix, Other Asphalt / Kokosing Materials / FL001066 / $41,000.00
Winter Patch / Northcoast Products / pending / $4,000.00
#8 Washed Crushed Limestone / Columbus Limestone / FL001047 / $2,000.00
Liquid Calcium Chloride / Bonded Chemical / pending / $40,000.00
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $212,000.00 are currently appropriated and available within the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund. This ordinance effects the transfer of these monies between major expenditure categories (from services to materials and supplies) within this Fund to make them available for these purchases. The Division procured a like amount of these same materials in 2003.
Emergency action is requested to assure an uninterrupted supply of these critical commodities.
