Explanation

This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance to establish a blanket purchase order for the purchase of Woodchips for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage from an established Universal Term Contract.

Woodchips are used as a bulking agent at the Compost Facility within the Division of Sewerage and Drainage and are a vital part of the composting process. The Compost Facility is adding a third compost pad in 2005 and plans to increase the use of woodchips by approximately 50%, therefore the funding request for 2005 is greater then in previous years. The Purchasing Office has established a Universal Term Contract for the option to obtain Woodchips with The Garick Corporation, FL-002019

SUPPLIER: The Garick Corporation (34-1395644)

FISCAL IMPACT: $300,000.00 is budgeted for this expenditure

230,000.00 was spent in 2004
$135,000.00 was spent in 2003.

Emergency legislation is being requested so that there is no interruption in the supply of Woodchips
