Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional engineering services contract with Evans, Mechwart, Hambelton & Tilton, Inc., (EMH&T) for the Traffic Signal Installation - Traffic Signal Design Manual project.
The intent of this project is to provide the City of Columbus, Division of Design and Construction, additional resources to create a traffic signal design manual. The traffic signal design manual will organize existing City of Columbus standards, policies, recommended practices, and typical drawings into one comprehensive formal document. The manual will give the Department of Public Service design and review personnel a reference document to ensure a clear, complete, and concise set of plans to avoid misinterpretation during construction. The manual will provide a centralized source for consultants to utilize for plan preparation and development. In addition, the document will provide the Department of Public Service personnel a reference document which will assure design consistency with consultant designs.
The Department of Public Service, Office of Support Services solicited Requests for Proposals for the Traffic Signal Installation - Traffic Signal Design Manual contract. The project was formally advertised on the Vendor Services web site from May 30, 2012 to June 28, 2012. The city received three (3) responses. All proposals were deemed minimally compliant and were fully evaluated when the Evaluation Committee met on July 2, 2012.
