CityLink materials purchase: up to $300,000 from Graybar via OMNIA Partners proposed
Summary
An ordinance would authorize the Director of Public Service to buy Fiber‑to‑the‑Home materials from Graybar Electric through OMNIA Partners (or a lower-priced state‑approved vendor) for up to $300,000; the packet invokes ORC sections permitting cooperative purchasing and declares the purchase an emergency to continue project progress.
The committee packet includes an ordinance authorizing the Director of Public Service to purchase materials for CityLink’s Fiber‑to‑the‑Home project from Graybar Electric through OMNIA Partners or a lower-priced state‑approved cooperative vendor in an amount not to exceed $300,000. The ordinance cites ORC 9.48 and 125.04 (joint purchasing and state purchasing contracts) and section 735.05 (authorization for expenditures exceeding $75,000) as legal bases for the action.
The ordinance declares the purchase an emergency to "continue progress of an ongoing project." The transcript contains the ordinance text and the clerk’s publication certificate language but does not record committee debate, a motion, or a vote on the measure; implementation steps, vendor selections and exact line‑item costs are not provided in the provided segments.
