Explanation

This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a service agreement with Cues Incorporated for Telemonitoring Equipment Parts and Repairs. The agreement for this service will be established in accordance with Section 329.07 of the Columbus City Code. Cues Incorporated is the manufacturer of the equipment and is the sole provider of parts, software support and repairs.

The Sewer Maintenance Operations Center utilizes five (5) TV trucks in the SLIRP (Sewer Line Inspection and Rehabilitation Program) section. This equipment is hi-tech and is used in harsh environments. It is expected that repairs will need to be made on a regular basis. The TV trucks are manufactured by Cues Incorporated and the parts and service can only be provided by the company. An informal quote was received from Cues Incorporated detailing per hour rates for labor for repairs of $80.00 per hour, $75.00 per hour for alignment and $100.00 per hour for one-day turnaround service. The service will be in effect for one (1) year to and including May 31, 2007.
