Explanation

BACKGROUND: To change the company name and Federal Identification number for contracts and purchase orders currently in process and established with Siemens Water Technologies Corp. due to a re-organization. This ordinance authorizes the assignment of all past, present and future business done by the City of Columbus from Siemens Water Technologies Corporation, FID 04-3063901 to Siemens Industry, Inc., FID 13-2762488.

1. Amount of additional funds: No additional funds are necessary to modify the pending option contracts.
2. Reason additional needs were not foreseen: The current supplier underwent a re-organization.
3. Reason other procurement processes not used: The same exact product is required as originally bid. No lower pricing/more attractive terms and conditions are anticipated through rebidding at this time.
4. How cost was determined: Terms and conditions are in accordance with the original agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT: No additional monies are required to modify the option contracts. Each agency must set aside their own funding for their estimated expenditures.

In order to maintain an uninterrupted supply of parts to City agencies using Universal Term Contracts and open Purchase Orders, this ordinance is being submitted as an emergency.
