Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the City to enter into a contract in an amount up to $103,911.50 for the Marion Road Outpost Site Improvement Project, and to pay construction inspection costs up to $10,391.15. This improvement provides a seven bay pole barn for covered storage of snow removal equipment and installation of sanitary sewer laterals for the existing occupied buildings. The estimated Notice to Proceed date is November 20, 2006. This project has been given 45 days to complete the construction of the project.
The project was let by the Transportation Division and was advertised in the City Bulletin, Dodge Reports, and by the Builders Exchange. Three bidders bidders/suppliers requested bid specfications; however, a single bid from The Righter Company was received when bids were due on October 4, 2006. Award is to be made to The Righter Company c.c. #31-0889208 (expiring 5/29/08), as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.
Emergency action is requested to allow immediate expenditure of the necessary funds so that construction may begin on November 20, 2006 so as to better ready this Facility for snow and ice services, and for ongoing street maintenance activities.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $114,302.65 from the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Street and Highway Fund for the construction of the Marion Road Outpost Site Improvement Project. This project was not budgeted in the 2006 Capital Improvement Budget, but funding is available for the project due to cancellation of an encumbrance for a completed project.
