Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase a services contract with Solutient Technologies for the Department of Public Service Refuse Radiation Alarm Remediation contract. The amount of the modification is $50,000.00. This is the fifth modification to the original contract.
The City of Columbus is contractually obligated to use the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) landfill. On January 31, 2013, SWACO activated radiation monitors at the landfill and transfer stations. All vehicles entering these locations with the intent to unload trash pass through the monitors, and if a vehicle trips an alarm, it is not allowed to unload. The vehicle owner is required to engage a company to identify and remove the radioactive material, perform remediation work on the vehicle, and properly dispose of the radiated material.
The Department of Public Service issued a bid for remediation service through the Vendor Services web site in January of 2013. Solutient Technologies received the contract for one year with five one-year renewals. This ordinance authorizes the fifth of five possible renewals of the contract with Solutient Technologies for $50,000.00, extending the contract through January 31, 2018.
