Explanation
Background: This legislation is for the option to establish one (1) UTC contract for Beet Juice Anti-Icing Solution to be used by the Public Service Department. The material will be used for snow and ice removal and control operations on city roadways during cold weather months. The term of the proposed option contract is through April 30, 2017. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on July 9, 2015.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the competitive bid section of the City Code (Solicitation SA005934). Ninety One (91) bids were solicited: (MBR: 2, M1A: 1, F1: 1, AS1: 1). Four (4) bids were received.
The Purchasing Office is recommending award to the overall lowest, responsive, responsible, and best bidder as follows:
GVM Inc.; CC#232065809, expires 09/14/2017; Item 1; $1.00
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $80,000.00
This company is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because without emergency action Beet Juice Anti-Icing Solution will not be available and the efforts of the Department of Public Service to maintain ice and snow removal on roadways during cold weather months would be delayed and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.
Fiscal Impact: Funding to establish this option contract is from the General Fund. City agencies will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
Title
To authorize the Finance and Management Director to enter into one (1) contract for the option to purchase Beet Juice Anti-Icing Solution with GVM Inc.; to authorize the expenditure of $1.00 to establish the contract from the General Fund; and to declare an emergency. ($1.00)
