Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes an amendment to Ordinance No. 0823-2017, passed on April 17, 2017. The Department of Technology (DoT) has a need to update/correct the information provided in Ordinance No. 0823-2017 as it relates to the processing of formal bid RFQ004775, which was not advertised in the City’s Bulletin due to a typographical data entry error regarding the date. As a result of this error, this caused RFQ004775 not to be advertised to the public from the City’s Microsoft Dynamics AX application, which creates the public advertisement in the City's Bulletin. RFQ004775 was advertised, bid and awarded within the City's Bid Express application. The ordinance was processed and resulted into a contract with The Fishel Company for the installation of fiber optic cabling at one (1) location, Police 9 Sub. Since the RFQ was not advertised in the City's Bulletin for public advertisement, an amendment to the Ord. 0823-2017 is necessary to waive the Columbus City Code.
This ordinance requests a waiver of the competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this ordinance/legislation.
EMERGENCY:
Emergency action is requested to expedite prompt execution of this amendment and the waiver of the Columbus City Code.
