Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue purchase orders for credit card fuels purchased through the Voyager Fleet Systems, unleaded bulk fuel with Beem's BP Distribution, and diesel/biodiesel with Central Ohio Farmers for the Fleet Management Division. A purchase order with Beem's BP Distribution for unleaded bulk fuel deliveries was authorized by Ordinance 0180-2010, through a formal bid conducted by Franklin County. Central Ohio Farmers Co-Op has been established under the terms and conditions of a universal term contract.
This ordinance also waives the competitive bidding process of the Columbus City Codes, in order to allow the continued use of Franklin County's contract with Beem's BP Distribution. This will allow uninterrupted unleaded fuel deliveries at the lowest possible price, and in comparing the State of Ohio contract with Franklin County contract, Beem's Distribution Inc. provides a lower delivery price of $0.059 per gallon. The City does not have a formal cooperative purchasing agreement with Franklin County, as it does with the State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services. Accordingly, the competitive bidding provisions of the City Codes must be waived in order to participate in this Franklin County contract.
This ordinance also authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish purchase orders and expend funds for tires per the terms and conditions of State Term contracts with Wingfoot Commercial Tire and WD Tire Warehouse and for automotive and truck parts with Genuine Auto Parts/NAPA under the terms and conditions of a universal term contract.
To authorize the increase of $65,000.00 to the Emergency funding auditor certificate AC031980-001 to better align the appropriation with the expenditure trends.
