Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology (DoT) to modify an existing contract with TP Resources for enhancements to the Pavement Assessment Work-limit System (PAWS) 2.0 on behalf of the Department of Public Service (DPS). This modification will add $247,050.00 to the existing contract. The term of this modified contract will commence on the date of confirmed purchase order by the CityAuditor’s Office and end at the conclusion of the project.
On December 7, 2020, Ordinance no. 2727-2020 authorized entering into contract with TP Resources for development of a Pavement Assessment Work-limit System (PAWS) 2.0 for the Department of Public Service (DPS). However, DPS requested that certain enhancements be added to the system. These enhancements include:
· First-year maintenance and support
· Database management
· Reporting
· Pavement asset management integration
· Advanced group pay function
· Ramp management
This Ordinance also requests waiver of the relevant sections of Chapter 329 of Columbus City Codes pertaining to competitive bidding. To bid this out at this time would slow down the project considerably.
Finally, this ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $247,050.00 for the above-described enhancements.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for these enhancements are budgeted and available in the Street Construction Maintenance fund, Department of Public Service, Division of Transportation Design and Construction.
