Ordinance 25-O-1192 authorizes the Mayor or designee to waive competitive bid requirements and execute the Second Amendment to Cooperative Agreement CP-G-1210339 under the Sourcewell Contract with United Rentals (North America) Inc. This amendment adds up to $570,000 to rent medium and heavy-duty equipment for the Atlanta Department of Transportation. Originally authorized in 2021 for $1,000,000 annually and amended previously for $125,000 through August 2025, this second amendment extends available funding for critical road maintenance operations. All rental costs will be charged to the Capital Finance Fund and associated departmental accounts for Highways & Streets administration and Right of Way maintenance. The Chief Procurement Officer and City Attorney will prepare and finalize the amendment documents, which will become binding upon execution by the Mayor. The waiver of Section 2-1187 competitive source selection provisions ensures timely procurement of specialized equipment without delay.
