Explanation

Need: The Columbus Health Department has a need to purchase a new fogger for its Vector Control Program. The gas powered fogger will be mounted to the bed of a City-owned pick-up truck and be used in the Department's efforts to control mosquitoes. The fogger will emit an ultra-low volume (ULV) spray of insecticide. The ULV sprayer will dispense very fine aerosol droplets that stay aloft and kill mosquitoes on contact. Mosquito control is critical to reducing the incidence of arthropod transmitted vector borne diseases in humans and to controlling the spread of the West Nile encephalitis virus.

Bids for this purchase were sought through the City's Vendor Services webpage via Solicitation No. SO028255. The City's Purchasing Office solicited nineteen vendors for a bid. The request for bids was posted on March 21, 2008, and closed on March 31. The following is a summary of the four bids that were received:

Bid Vendor Contract Compliance No. Expiration Date

$7,035.00 Clarke Mosquito Control Products 36-3672438 07/10/08
$7,400.00 ADAPCO, Inc. 59-2574523 Inactive
$7,700.00 B&G Chemicals & Equipment Co., Inc. 75-1183467 06/12/09
$9,650.00 Univar USA, Inc. 91-1347935 04/04/10


In order to insure that the new sprayer is available for the summer mosquito season, this legislation is submitted as an emergency. The total amount of this expenditure is $7,035.00.

Fiscal Impact: This legislation includes a transfer of funds within the Voted 1999, 2004 Health Department Bonds Fund, Fund No. 706, and an amendment to the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget.
