BACKGROUND: The purpose of this ordinance is to authorize the Director of Finance and Management to enter into an option contract with Parr Public Safety Equipment, Inc. for the purchase of Transport Vehicle Parts and Up-Fitting Services on behalf of the Division of Fleet. This contract will provide parts and up-fitting services on Police Ford Utility Interceptors on an as needed basis.

The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on April 7, 2016.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with relevant provisions of the Columbus City Code Chapter 329 (RFQ000406). Thirty-four (34) vendors were solicited and one (1) bid was received.

The company is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.
