Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue a purchase order to W. W. Williams Midwest Inc. to repair the engine of Columbus Fire Ladder 24 (BT26838). Given the emergent nature of repairs, specifically an out of warranty engine overhaul, needed to return this vehicle to service as quickly as possible, there is no time for Fleet Management to attain formal bids, and thus a formal bid waiver is requested.
