Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to enter into a contract with APO Holdings Inc. for the purchase of a Portable Air Compressor with Generator for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage at the Sewer Maintenance Operations Center. The Portable Air Compressor with Generator will be used by the Sewer Maintenance Operations Center to supply air and electric to City maintenance crews on-site and will replace Air Compressor BT22377.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the relevant provisions of Columbus City Codes Chapter 329 relating to competitive bidding (RFQ002863). One Hundred (100) vendors were solicited and two (2) bids were received and opened on October 6, 2016. After a review of the bids, the Division of Sewerage and Drainage recommends the award be made to the lowest responsive and responsible and best bidder, APO Holdings Inc., for all items. Bhayana Brothers LLC., offered an alternate item for a lower price; however, the quoted model Speedaire 13N457 does not meet the requirements of the specifications.
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.
