Explanation
Background: Ordinance No. 1339-2011 was passed by Columbus City Council on October 17, 2011. This Ordinance authorized the Director of Finance and Management to enter into a contract with the Mars Company, for Water Meter Test Benches for the Division of Water.
Purchase Order Number FL005043 was established with the Mars Company. The purchase order was set up as a two-way match which means that only one invoice could be paid instead of multi-payments. Because the purchase order was established in this manner, the balance of the purchase order is automatically cancelled after the City Auditor establishes a payment on the first invoice. The amount that was cancelled and needs to be re-established totals $32,416.95 Since these funds are needed to pay current and future invoices, the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Water requests that the City Auditor’s Office re-establishes the cancelled funds on an Auditor’s Certificate in the amount of $32,416.95. This Ordinance will also authorize the Director of Finance and Management to re-establish said amount on a Purchase Order.
Emergency Designation: It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner in order to expeditiously pay an outstanding invoice.
Fiscal Impact: A transfer of funds within the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund and an amendment to the 2014 Capital Improvements Budget will be necessary.
