Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned modification with Madden Brothers Inc. for the purposes of providing Yard Waste and Log Grinding Services for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Compost Facility.
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Compost Facility utilizes a contract that provides for the purchase of woodchips to be used as bulking agents for composting and to produce the product Com-Til. The services to be performed under this agreement calls for Madden Brothers, Inc. to provide equipment and an operator to grind yard waste (shrubs, leaves, tree limbs, logs, etc) that are received by the Compost Facility. The finished product will be used as an alternative source for bulking agents. The City of Columbus has crews to chip brush and trees from storm damage on public right-of-way. In the event that a severe storm causes damage that exceeds the capacity of City crews to promptly cleanup, this contract allows for the vendor to be contacted to mobilize equipment and crews to chip brush and trees obstructing public streets and sidewalks and deliver those woodchips to the SW Compost Facility located at 7000 Jackson Pike, Lockbourne, Ohio.
The original contract was in effect for one (1) year to and including August 26, 2014. The contract language allows for the Department of Public Utilities to extend the contract for three (3) additional years on a year to year basis upon mutual agreement, budgeted funds and approval by Columbus City Council. This proposed modification is the 3rd year of the contract. The new contract expiration date is August 26, 2016. This modification is in accordance with the relevant provisions of Columbus City Code Section 329 relating to contract modifications.
