Background Information:
On March 8, 2017, the Purchasing Department, on behalf of the Utilities Department, released an invitation to bid with the intent to establish a contract for bi-weekly, on site preventive maintenance and repair of odor control units. Under delegated authority, the County Administrator approved the award of bid to DOer on May 23, 2017 (Legistar File ID 17-042D).
DOer failed to meet contract staffing and documentation requirements resulting in contract default and a two (2) year suspension from participation in the County contracting process. In order to ensure the non-interruption of essential services, the County Administrator approved the re-award of this contract on July 4, 2017 (Legistar File ID 17-578D) to Evoqua in the amount of $1,485,422.80, exceeding delegated approval authority. As a result, the Board of County Commissioners is requested to ratify/confirm the County Administrator re-award and enter into the meeting minutes.
