Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service is responsible for snow and ice control on the City’s roadway system. In removing snow and ice, the department uses a variety of deicing chemicals. The department has been notified by our vendor that one of the primary chemicals used for deicing will not be available for the 2019-2020 Winter season. The Department has determined it is in the best interest of the city to utilize the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) deicing chemical contracts that are available to the city.

This ordinance seeks approval for the Finance and Management Director on behalf of the Department of Public Service to use ODOT’s contract number 124-19. ODOT 124-19 includeds the following five (5) vendors: Chloride Solutions, LLC, EnviroTech Services, Inc., Great Lakes Cloride, Inc., K-Tech Specialty Coatings, Inc., and Nature’s Own Source, LLC. The Division of Infrastructure Management has a need for the following deicing chemicals from the above five vendors, which are on the current ODOT deicing chemical contract:

Chloride Solutions LLC: GEOMELT 55 Liquid Organic Accelerator, GEOMELT S7 Anti-icing/Deicing Fluid
