Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Franklin County Municipal Court, Clerk of Court ("Municipal Court Clerk") to enter into a one (1) year contract with Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx”) for commercial carrier service in the amount up to $100,000.00.
Ordinance 2248-2023 authorized the Municipal Court Clerk to enter into a contract with FedEx for the provision of commercial carrier services on civil cases which allows for a more efficient and effective means of service.
The Municipal Court Clerk began implementation of FedEx service in October 2023 based on a request from the Municipal Court Judges. This legislation allows there to be no interruption of FedEx service being offered to the public.
Bid Information: Ordinance 3278-2022 was approved for the purpose of purchasing a sole source add-on integration to the Clerk’s current case management system, CourtView II. CourtView will only accept FedEx to interface with their system. CourtView is proprietary; therefore, we can only interface with FedEx.
The O.R.C. Section 9.48 (D) permits the Municipal Court Clerk to participate in a program operated by a state association of political subdivisions and any purchases made are exempt from any competitive selection processes otherwise required by law. FedEx offers a discounted rate as a part of the Courts Program and is the sole company offering this cost-saving program for courts, thus making it manifestly impractical to bid.
Ordinance 2248-2023 authorized the Municipal Court Clerk to waive the competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Code for the original contract.
