MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of Dublin City Council
FROM: Timothy C. Hansley, City Manager
SUBJECT: Emergency Purchase of a Sewer Vacuum Machine
DATE: March IS, 1990
BY: David L. Harding, Director of Personnel & Purchasing
Attached for your consideration please find Ordinance No. 31-90
authorizing the purchase of a sewer vacuum machine without formal
advertising and competitive bidding and declaring an emergency.
As the attached legislation states, it is the objective of the City to
resolve the infiltration/inflow problem in the sanitary sewer system.
Council has already authorized the emergency purchase of sewer video
inspection equipment to achieve said objective. In order for the
sewer video inspection program to be effective in achieving the
desired objective, a certain percentage of the sewer lines will need
to be cleaned. Therefore, Staff believes that the sewer vacuum
machine needs to be purchased immediately so that the effectiveness of
the sewer video inspection program can be maximized. Staff believes
that the cost of a sewer vacuum should not exceed $120,000.
In conclusion, Staff recommends that pursuant to Section 8.02 of the
Dublin Charter and Section 735.051 of the Ohio Revised Code, formal
advertising and competitive bidding be waived and the sewer vacuum
machine be purchased on an emergency basis. Mr. Johnson, Maintenance
Superintendent will be in attendance at the Council Meeting on March
19, 1990 to brief Council regarding this matter.
