Explanation

BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase Polymer, Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant for the Sewerage & Drainage Division, Department of Public Utilities. The term of the proposed option contract would be through March 31, 2009. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on November 3, 2005.

The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA001804). One hundred and six bids were solicited (MAJ:103, FBE:1, MBE:2); four (MAJ:4) bids were received.

The Purchasing Office is recommending award of one contract to the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidder:

Polydyne Inc.; CC# 341810283, All items.
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $120,000.00

This Company is not debarred according to the Excluded Parties listing of the Federal Government and is not listed in the Auditor of State's database for Findings for Recovery.

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Purchasing Contract Account. City Agencies will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
