Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation is for the option to establish Universal Term Contracts (UTC) for Traffic Pedestrian Signal Equipment. The Division of Public Service is the primary user. Traffic Pedestrian Signal Equipment is used in traffic signal installations along roadways throughout the City of Columbus. The term of the proposed option contracts would be approximately three (3) years, expiring January 31, 2020, with the option to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year periods.

Baldwin & Sours, Inc.: CC004700; Items 11, 12; $1.00
Path Master, Inc.: CC005987; Items: 7, 8; $1.00
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $80,000.00, Division of Public Service, the primary user.
