Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to establish a contract with National Pump & Process, Inc. for the repair of a KSB pump that is part of the critical infrastructure of pump station ST-29, which is the primary pump station for the floodwall. This pump station was already down one pump when a second pump failed. Without repairing this pump, the pump station can only pump 80 mgd of its designed 140 mgd pumpage.
Due to the critical nature of this repair and the fact that there is an estimated 12-14 week lead time for the parts needed to complete this repair, the Department of Public Utilities requested an emergency waiver of the provisions of Columbus City Code Chapter 329 from the Director of the Division of Finance and Management following the procedures set forth under the Mayor's Executive Order 2020-01 "Declaration of State of Emergency". That waiver was approved and PO220350 was established with National Pump & Process, Inc., with the provision that this ordinance would be drafted for the next council meeting.
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.
