Explanation
BACKGROUND:

Need: The Division of Fire has been awarded a grant from the Department of Homeland Security to purchase customized anti-terrism training and equipment from WL Bar, LLC for the Bomb Squad. The total cost of the training and equipment will be $57,700.00 and payment will be issued by Franklin County. The City of Columbus and Franklin County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement via Ordinance 1917-2005 to enable this type of purchase.

This legislation will authorize and direct the Director of Finance & Management to execute those documents necessary for the acquisition of this equipment; there is no expenditure for this equipment, as Franklin County will administer the payment of the upgrade upon legislative approval.

Bid Information: Competitive bidding is being waived as the training and equipment are specialized and customized specifically for the Division of Fire Bomb Squad, and not provided by any other entity. This Company is not debarred according to the Excluded Parties listing of the Federal Government and is not listed in the Auditor of State database for Findings for Recovery.

Contract Compliance: WL Bar, LLC #432434438

Emergency Designation: This legislation is to be declared an emergency measure due to it being imperative that legislative approval occur prior to expiration of the grant period.
