Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to renew a contract with Republic Waste of Ohio, LLC for an additional year to provide Licensed Landfill Services for the Division of Code Enforcement’s Weed and Solid Waste Abatement Program and add up to $20,000.00 for services in 2021.
Original Contract Amount $45,000.00 PO224895
Renewal 1 $20,000.00
Total Contract Amount $65,000.00
The purpose of the Weed and Solid Waste Abatement Program is to provide abatement of high grass, weeds, and solid waste removal on specifically designated, privately owned property where the City has determined it necessary to take action pursuant to Columbus City Code Section 701.19. The department hires contractors to provide these services and then contracts directly with a licensed landfill to receive the material removed by the contractors.
The Department of Development advertised RFQ015150 on Vendor Services in March 2020 for Licensed Landfill Services and received one bid. The director entered into contract with the one bidder under the authority of Columbus City Code Section 329.19. For the original contract, the contract period is from the date of approval of the purchase order to February 28, 2021, with an option to renew one additional year, through 2021. Advertising for services annually would interrupt the program and possibly result a delay in providing these services. The fee for services in the contract renewal will be the same as that of the original contract.
This legislation will extend the contract an additional year, ending February 28, 2022.
Emergency action is requested in order to continue services without interruption.
FISCAL IMPACT: The funding for this contract is available in the Division of Code Enforcement’s 2021 General Fund budget.
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE: The vendor number is 009867 and the contract compliance renewal is pending.
