Therefore, the Municipal Court Clerk, respectfully requests to waive the competitive bid provisions of Chapter 329, Columbus City Codes.

Emergency: Emergency declaration is requested for the continuity of the services for the CIC phone system for the Municipal Court.

Fiscal Impact: Funds totaling $24,338.57 are available within the Municipal Court Clerk Computer Fund budget; funds totaling $30,201.77 are available within the Franklin County Municipal Court Computer Fund budget.
