The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA002394). Nine bids were solicited (MAJ: 9); Two bids were received (MAJ: 2).

These companies are not debarred according to the Excluded Parties listing of the Federal Government and are not listed in the Auditor of States database for Findings for Recovery.
Phillip's Oil Company of Central Ohio was the only bidder for items 1 and 2 and is recommended for award of these items.
Northcoast Products was the only bidder for item 3 and is recommended for award of this item.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.
