The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilitites to establish a purchase order to pay invoices for hauling services of grit and grease from Waste Management of Ohio, Inc. for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage and, in accordance with Columbus City Code Section 329.27, to waive the competitive bidding provisions of Columbus City Code.
