Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation is for the option to establish a UTC contract for Andritz D5LL Centrifuge Parts & Services for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, the sole user. The term of the proposed option contracts would be two (2) years, expiring March 31, 2016, with the option to renew for one (1) additional year.

The Purchasing Office originally opened formal bids on January 9, 2014. The City advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06, Solicitation No. SA005194.

It is recommended that the City waive the competitive bidding procedure to allow for award to the sole bid received from Andritz Separation, Inc., who is a previous contract holder for these items.
