Explanation
BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase erosion control materials for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. These materials are used in maintaining various ditch and drainage control projects for erosion control.
The term of the proposed option contracts are two (2) years, and will be in effect from the date of execution by the City to and including May 31, 2011, with renewal options for one (1) additional year. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on May 21, 2009.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06, Solicitation SA003182. Twenty-eight (28) bids were solicited (F1-1, MBR-0, MIA-0). Four (4) bids were received, and one (1) of the four (4) bids was from a female owned business (Jendco Safety).
The Purchasing Office is recommending award of a contract to the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidders:
Johnston-Morehouse-Dickey Co.: CC#250578730 (Expires 01-16-10)
Jendco Safety: CC#311286443 (Expires 01-15-11)
Site Supply: CC#311350146 (Expires 02-13-11)
Meredith Brothers: CC#311031839 (Expires 08-05-10)
These companies are not debarred according to the Federal Excluded Parties Listing or the State Auditor's Findings For Recovery Database.
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.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Mail, Print Services and UTC Fund. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
