Explanation

BACKGROUND: For the option to establish a UTC contract to purchase Rabble Arms & Teeth for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The term of the proposed option contract would be two (2) years, expiring October 31, 2009, with the option to renew for one (1) additional year. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on July 5, 2007.

The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation SA002479). Eleven (11) bidders were solicited: (F1-0, M1A-0, MBR-0). One (1) bid was received. The Purchasing Office is recommending award to the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidder:

Industrial Furnace Company, REG, CC# 16-1102499 expires 9/9/08, $1.00
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $70,000.00, Division of Sewerage and Drainage, the sole user.

The 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, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Purchasing UTC Fund. City Agencies will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.

To authorize and direct the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract for the option to purchase Rabble Arms and Teeth with Industrial Furnace Company, to authorize the expenditure of $1.00 to establish the contract from the Purchasing UTC Fund, and to declare an emergency. ($1.00).
