Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue purchase orders for automotive parts, supplies, and services for the Fleet Management Division. These are used to repair and service many of the City's vehicles.
City Universal Term Contracts (UTC's) are in place for some of these parts, supplies, and accessories. Otherwise, parts not on a City UTC can be purchased from State Term contracts. Accordingly, this legislation also authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue purchase orders for the purchase of tires for the Fleet Management Division per the terms and conditions of State Term contracts with Wingfoot Commercial Tire and WD Tire Warehouse. Ordinance 0582-87 authorizes city agencies to participate in Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Cooperative contracts.
Fiscal Impact: The Fleet Management Division 2012 operating budget contains nearly $6 million for the purchase of automotive parts, supplies, and services. This legislation authorizes an expenditure of $3,410,000 with various vendors to purchase automotive parts, supplies, and services. This legislation also authorizes an expenditure of $350,000.00 with Wingfoot Commercial Tire and WD Warehouse to purchase automotive and truck tires.
Emergency action is requested to ensure an uninterrupted supply of vehicle parts, supplies, tires, and services, thereby keeping City owned vehicles in operation, including Police, Fire, and Refuse Collection vehicles. This ordinance is contingent on the passage of the 2012 budget.
