Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order with ESEC Corporation for the Division of Refuse Collection to purchase four Jomarr fire suppression systems for front-loading refuse trucks purchased through City of Columbus RFQ013709 and PO205977. These items were listed as an option with an additional cost in the original bid response. Although the option was included with the bidders response we failed to include it in the original award. This safety enhancement is a requirement for rear-loading refuse trucks. The Department of Public Service has decided this safety enhancement should be installed on the front-loading refuse trucks as well and wants to have the installations completed prior to the City receiving delivery of the vehicles.
