Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the modification of contracts FL006063 and FL006329 for the purchase of five (5) CNG Combination Sewer Cleaning Machines required by the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. These vehicles are used for maintenance and the cleaning of manholes and sewer lines throughout the City of Columbus metropolitan area.
Ordinances 2225-2014 and 1768-2015 were passed November 3, 2014 and July 27, 2015, respectively, to authorize the purchase of these CNG Combination Sewer Cleaning Machines. This authorization was based upon ESEC Corporation’s responses to Solicitations SA005535 and SA005737. Based upon the authorization granted by these ordinances the Finance and Management Director signed two contracts with ESEC Corporation.
Bid Information: The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bid in accordance with the relevant provisions of City of Columbus Code Chapter 329. Bids were solicited by the Purchasing Office, via Solicitation SA005535 and SA005737, and were opened on September 4, 2014 and March 5, 2015 respectively. ESEC Corporation submitted bids on both solicitations and the Division of Sewerage and Drainage recommended ESEC Corporation for award as the lowest responsive and responsible and best bidder. It has since been determined through performance testing and negotiations with ESEC Corporation that additional modifications are required to increase the front axle rating to maintain the desired water capacity and legal axle loads with full water tanks.
