Explanation
BACKGROUND: To modify and extend the existing contract for the option to purchase Wallace & Tiernan Equipment Parts for the Water Division to and including May 31, 2005.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 of the Columbus City Code. Formal bids were opened April 5, 2001 (SA000013); Contract FL000776 with BNR, Inc. was approved per Ordinance #0919-01, passed June 4, 2001.
This company's contract compliance number is 34-1861170. This company is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government and is not listed in the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery database.
1. Amount of additional funds: No funding is required to extend this option contract. The Water Division must obtain approval to expend from their own budgeted fund for their estimated annual expenditure of $150,000.00.
2. Reason additional needs were not foreseen: Not applicable. The original contract was established with the option to renew with the approval of all parties.
3. Reason other procurement processes not used: The Water Division has determined it is in the best interest of the City to continue to utilize the terms, conditions and pricing in the existing contract.
4. How cost was determined: Pricing is in accordance with SA000013.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required to extend the option contract.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because without emergency action, no less then thirty-seven days will be added to the procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.
