Explanation

Background:  This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into contract with Paul Peterson Company for the Facilities Management Division for the rental, erection, and removal of chain link fencing and traffic control devices in conjunction with a rally held by the National Socialist Movement at City Hall on September 23, 2006. On September 15, 2006, a Mayor's Emergency was declared for this purpose.

Four companies were contacted to provide bids.  Three responded: McDaniel's Construction Corp. (MBE) $44,500, Able Fence and Guard Rail (FBE) $48,870, and Paul Peterson Company $55,715.  Subsequent to the submission of the original bids, the ingress/egress plans were changed .  The three responsive bidders were asked to resubmit their bids.  They came in as: McDaniel's Construction Corp. (MBE) $48,600, Able Fence and Guard Rail $48,870, and Paul Peterson Company $55,715.  Subsequent to these bids, it was discovered that neither McDaniel's nor Able could perform due to their failure to include the necessary traffic control devices in their pricing.  Therefore, the Mayor declared an emergency on September 22, 2006, allowing the Finance and Management Director to enter into contract with Paul Peterson Company.

Emergency action is requested in order to reimburse Paul Peterson Company for costs incurred for the rental, erection, and removal of chain link fencing and traffic control devices in conjunction with a rally held by the National Socialist Movement at City Hall on September 23, 2006.

Fiscal Impact:  This project is not budgeted in the General Fund.  It will be reflected in the third quarter financial review as a deficit.  The total cost of this contract is $55,715.00.  Paul Peterson Company Contract Compliance Number 31-0868875, expiration 04/23/2007.
