Explanation

This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a purchase order with JWC Environmental for the emergency repair for sludge grinders for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Sewer Maintenance Operations Center in accordance with the provisions of the Columbus City Code Section 329.27 and to waive the provisions of Columbus City Code Section 329.07.

In past years the Division of Sewerage and Drainage would establish a service agreement with JWC Environmental the sole provider for services for the sludge grinders used in the wastewater treatment process. In 2004 the Division of Sewerage and Drainage added the service element to the parts contract. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on September 16, 2004 to establish a Universal Term Contract for Sludge Grinder Parts and Service. One (1) bid was received. The contract is currently in process and not yet established. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Sewer Maintenance Operations Center has an emergency need to have a grinder repaired. The equipment is necessary to reduce sludge and particles to a size that can be effectively processed through the sewage treatment system. The equipment must be repaired immediately and the Universal Term Contract will not be in place for at least thirty (30) days. A quote was submitted by the awarded supplier of the Universal Term Contract that is in process, JWC Environmental.

Supplier: JWC Environmental (33-0381716)

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency action so that the grinder can be repaired in a timely fashion so the wastewater treatment process is not hindered.

Fiscal Impact: The requested $32,614.00 is budgeted for this agreement.

$80,000.00 was spent in 2003
$80,000.00 was spent in 2002
