Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation is for the option to establish a Universal Term Contract (UTC) for Flocculator Sprockets and Bearings. The Division of Water is the primary user. Flocculator Sprockets and Bearings are used at various water and wastewater treatment plants located within the Columbus metropolitan area. The term of the proposed option contract would be approximately 3 years, expiring December 31, 2020, with the option to renew for one (1) additional year. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on August 10, 2017.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the relevant provisions of Section 329.06 relating to competitive bidding (Request for Quotation No. RFQ006211). Three (3) bids were received.
Item 6 will not be awarded as there will not be enough of a savings to establish a contract for this one item. It will be bid informally as needed.
