Explanation

This legislation is to authorize the purchase of one (1) Compressed Natural Gas flat bed truck for the Department of Planning and Operations as part of the Clean Cities grant. This unit will replace an older one which is beyond its useful life. This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue a purchase order with Ricart Properties for the CNG Flatbed Truck. On June 10, 2010 the Purchasing Department opened a formal bid solicitation SA003579. Ricart Properties was the only bidder.

The City of Columbus, Finance and Management Department, Fleet Management Division, has been awarded a grant from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) through the local Clean Cities Coalition designee, Clean Fuels Ohio.

Emergency action is requested so that a purchase order can be issued as soon as possible, thereby ensuring that deadlines of the vendor are met.
