BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Building and Zoning Services to modify (Modification No. 1) a contract with M Power Inc. in an amount up to $1,530.00.
Original contract amount $ 20,000.00 Ord. N/A PO313571
Modification No. 1 amount $ 1,530.00
Total contract amount $ 21,530.00
The purpose of the weed and solid waste abatement program is to remove high grass, weeds, and solid waste on specifically designated, privately owned property where the City has determined it necessary to take action pursuant to Columbus City Code 701.19.
Companies responded to an Invitation to Bid, RFQ020584 in 2022 and were selected by an evaluation committee as the companies with the best proposals based on prior experience, qualifications, and price. The bids allowed the establishment of one year contracts.
The Department of Building and Zoning Services advertised RFQ020584 on Vendor Services in December 2021 for the weed and solid waste abatement program and 17 bids were received. The Director of Building and Zoning Services entered into contract with 12 bidders under the authority of Columbus City Code Section 329.19. The contract period is from the date of approval of the purchase order to April 30, 2023.
Due to an internal clerical error, the department’s program manager assigned work to M Power Inc. in excess of available contract funding. M Power Inc. completed the assigned work order. The department incurred these additional costs according to the agreed-upon price schedule of the original contract.
Modifying the agreement to add funds will allow the Department of Building and Zoning Service to compensate M Power Inc. for services already rendered.
