Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Department of Finance and Management, Fleet Management Division, to modify and extend its existing contract with Gresham, Smith and Partners for implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS). The original contract EL014835 was established pursuant to ordinance 0777-2013.
The Fleet Management Division is continuing its efforts to manage the city’s fueling infrastructure and bring fuel sites up to environmental compliance standards. The division is also working to enhance its operational awareness and compliance with environmental regulations and to apply these new procedures at fleet maintenance facilities, city fuel sites, stationary generator locations and other support locations across the city. Since the beginning of this initiative, Gresham, Smith and Partners (GS&P) has been assisting the division with environmental compliance support in areas of inspections, auditing, training, program development and implementation as well as continued development of Finance’s Environmental Management System (EMS).
Fiscal Impact: Currently $406,357.00 is available in the Fleet Management Division’s capital budget for this work but due to multiple ongoing capital funded projects we are only requesting an additional $200,000.00 at this time. Another modification may be requested with a future ordinance as funds are needed.
Principal Parties:
GS&P/OH, Inc. (Gresham, Smith and Partners)
Contract compliance number 62-1736493, expires 1/10/16
Emergency action is requested in order to expedite the development of SPCC plans to ensure that the city is in compliance with environmental rules and regulations.
