Explanation
Background: The Department of Finance and Management, Facilities Management Division manages over 89 city-owned facilities with over 4.0 million square feet. The division is responsible for the repair, maintenance, cleaning and upkeep of the facilities under its purview. The Waterworks, LLC provided plumbing services to the City of Columbus pursuant to the terms of the city’s then-effective UTC for plumbing services and after expiration of said UTC.
