Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Ohio Technical Services, Inc. for lead reduction, conveyor belt cleaning, and lead filter disposal at the Police Firearms Range located at 2609 McKinley Avenue.
Use of the Firearms Range leads to the build-up of lead dust on various pieces of equipment, including but not limited to equipment and machinery located in and around the conveyor room and adjacent areas. Furthermore, the current HVAC system is designed to filter out harmful lead dust with filters changed on an as-needed basis. However, because used filters contain potentially harmful lead dust, they must be removed by a firm certified to handle hazardous waste material.
Ohio Technical Services (OTS) is the certified environmental remediation firm used by the Facilities Management Division. They are currently under contract (ED052596) and their services were procured via formal bid solicitation SA004286. This firm is currently operating under the 3rd of 4 annual renewals.
This modification is necessary to provide additional funds to the contract for the purpose of lead remediation at the Police Firearms Range.
Emergency action is requested so that necessary lead remediation can begin as soon as possible so Police can continue to use the range.
Ohio Technical Services, Inc. Contract Compliance No. 31-1640431, expiration date October 22, 2016.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this modification is $38,340.00. Funding is available in the Division of Police General Fund Operating Budget, however a transfer of funds is necessary to provide appropriation in the correct object of expense. This ordinance is contingent on the passage of Ordinance 2853-2015.
