Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Ohio Technical Services, Inc. for lead reduction, conveyor belt cleaning, and lead filter disposal at the Police Firearms Range located at 2609 McKinley Avenue.
Use of the Firearms Range leads to the build-up of lead dust on various pieces of equipment, including but not limited to equipment and machinery located in and around the conveyor room and adjacent areas. Furthermore, the current HVAC system is designed to filter out harmful lead dust with filters changed on an as-needed basis. However, filters must be removed and replaced by a firm specialized and certified in handling hazardous waste material.
Ohio Technical Services (OTS) is the certified environmental remediation firm used by the Facilities Management Division. They are currently under contract and their services were procured via formal bid solicitation RFQ004725.
This modification is necessary to provide additional funds to the contract for the purpose of lead remediation at the Police Firearms Range.
Emergency action is requested to ensure that hazardous materials contract may be immediately available for services as soon as practical.
