Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into an agreement for the option to establish one (1) UTC contract for Thermoplastic Glass Beads to be used by the Department of Public Service, the primary user. These items are used to mix with street line stripping paint to allow for greater reflectivity of the lines on city streets. The term of the proposed option contracts is through October 31, 2019. The contract may be extended for up to two additional one (1) year periods, subject to mutual agreement by both parties. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on September 29, 2016.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the competitive bid section of the City Code (Solicitation RFQ002889). Two (2) bids were received.
The Purchasing Office is recommending award to the overall lowest, responsive, responsible, and best bidder as follows:
Ennis Paint, Inc.: CC010135; Item: 1; $1.00
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $40,000.00
This 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.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because without emergency action various striping roadway projects throughout the City will be delayed and the efforts of the Department of Public Service to maintain roadways throughout the City of Columbus and the efficient delivery of these items will be slowed.
Fiscal Impact: Funding to establish this option contract is from the General Fund. City agencies will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
