Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue a purchase order to SimplexGrinnell to purchase and install video security systems for two parking lots at the City of Columbus Hoover Reservoir. Funds from the FY09 Buffer Zone Protection Program will cover the majority of the costs. SimplexGrinnell is currently involved in placing safety cameras in neighborhoods and has the appropriate equipment and expertise to complete this project while also making it compatible with similar city video infrastructure.

Additional Needs: Funds need to be transferred within the General Government Grant Fund budget of the Division of Police from Object Level (1) 03 to Object Level (1) 06 in order to purchase the video security systems.

Bid Information: Since there is not enough time to obtain formal bids to meet the Federal Grant deadlines, competitive bidding must be waived.

This company is not debarred according to the Federal excluded parties listing or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State unresolved findings for recovery certified search.

Contract Compliance: SimplexGrinnell's # is 58-2608861 and expires March 24, 2012.

FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $25,100.00 from the General Government Grant Funds (FY09 Buffer Zone Protection Program) and $1,291.00 from Department 60 Public Utilities for the purchase and the installation of security systems. There is no financial impact on the General Fund operating budget for this purchase.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested so the cameras can be ordered and be ready for installation and to meet grant deadlines.
