Background: This ordinance authorizes the City Auditor to set up an auditor’s certificate in the amount of $340,000.00 for the purchase of portable toilet rental services for the Recreation and Parks Department. These expenditures are from a citywide universal term contract (UTC) for portable toilet rental services established by the Purchasing Office in the Department of Finance and Management. This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of more than $100,000.00 from an individual UTC by a single agency in a calendar year in compliance with the procurement provisions of the Columbus City Codes Chapter 329.
