Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order to pay an invoice from Harrington Industrial Plastics LLC for u-channel material to mount tubing for a new aeration system in the 4 million gallon, Sedimentation Basin #4 at the Hap Cremean Water Plant, Division of Power and Water and to waive the requirements of competitive bidding per Columbus City Code Section 329.27.

Division of Power and Water requests legislation in the amount of $1,704.00 to establish a purchase order with Harrington Industrial Plastics LLC to cover an invoice related to the purchase of u-channel material to mount tubing for a new aeration system in the 4 million gallon, Sedimentation Basin #4 at the Hap Cremean Water Plant.

Due to misunderstanding of the price and errors in tracking funds, the amount of this invoice exceeded the available funds for this purchase order. Purchasing the u-channel material without sufficient funds on the certified purchase order has no defensible explanation. The Supply Group section personnel made an honest mistake. Management has discussed the issue with them and has stressed to them the importance of insuring that they have a certified purchase order prior to ordering material in the future.

This legislation is requesting that the Director of Finance and Management establish a purchase for an obligation owed to Harrington Industrial Plastics LLC, Westerville, Ohio 43081.

Supplier: Harrington Industrial Plastics LLC (CC #95-2752402, Expires 05/04/2008)

Fiscal Impact: $1,704.00

Emergency legislation is being requested so that a purchase order and subsequent payment can be made in timely manner.
