Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service is responsible for snow and ice control on the City’s roadway system. In removing snow and ice, the department uses a variety of deicing chemicals. The department has determined it is in the best interest of the City to utilize the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) deicing chemical contracts that are available to us.

Ordinance 2237-2019 authorizes the City of Columbus to purchase from cooperative ODOT purchasing contracts. This ordinance seeks approval for the Finance and Management Director on behalf of the Department of Public Service to use ODOT’s contract number 124-24.

The Director of Finance and Management is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Department of Public Service, Division of Infrastructure Management, to enter into contracts, create purchase agreements, establish purchase orders, and associate all general budget reservations resulting from this ordinance with established, pending, and future ODOT chemical deicing contracts in order to obtain deicing chemicals for the 2023-2024 winter season to maintain roadways during the snow and ice season throughout the city.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
This is a budgeted expense within the Municipal Motor Vehicle Tax Fund (Fund 2266).

These expenditures are being made from cooperative purchasing contracts established by the Ohio Department of Transportation for use by the City’s Purchasing Office and as such does not require M/WBE goals to be established.

4. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
The department requests emergency action to ensure the timely availability of deicing chemicals for snow and ice control on the City’s roadway systems for the 2023-2024 winter season.
