Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) for the purpose of issuing payment related to the joint renovation and construction of the Morse Road Eco-Station. In March 2012, pursuant to Ordinance 2147-2011, the City and SWACO entered into a Reimbursement Agreement. Pursuant to this Reimbursement Agreement, SWACO provided oversight and supervision of the project along with the hiring of all Construction Administration and Contractors necessary for the project. The City acted as the owner representative for the project and was responsible for reimbursing SWACO for certain construction costs based on a proportional share of the shared facilities. In essence, SWACO was responsible for 52.65% of total costs and the City was responsible for 47.35% of total costs. The City's portion of the cost sharing Reimbursement Agreement totaled $9,234,097 for this project.
Pursuant to the aforementioned, the City of Columbus established purchase order/contract (EL013952) with SWACO. This purchase order was inadvertently cancelled prior to all invoices being paid out for this project. Therefore, this ordinance is seeking authority for the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) for the purpose of issuing payment related to the joint renovation and construction of the Morse Road Eco-Station. This will allow the City to fulfill its joint funding obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement and properly close out the contract.
Emergency action is requested so that prompt payment can be made to SWACO.
