Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Cyrus Concrete Construction, Inc. for the Southwesterly Composting Facility, Pad 2 Concrete Apron project. This work consists of providing a new concrete apron (+/- 12,000 sf base bid) including asphalt pavement and aggregate base removal, earth excavation, aggregate base placement and compaction, and concrete apron placement and other such work as may be necessary to complete the contract in accordance with the plans and specifications set forth in the Bid Submittal Documents.
The new concrete apron will replace the existing asphalt apron, which is in poor condition due to the heavy vehicle traffic it is subjected to. The concrete apron will provide a longer useful life, reducing the economic impact of more frequent replacement of an asphalt apron.
The Department of Public Utilities advertised Competitive Bids for the subject construction services in the City Bulletin in accordance with the provisions of Section 329.09, Columbus City Codes, 1959. One hundred forty-four (144) vendors (8 MBR, 11 M1A, 2 F1, 3 AS1 and 120 MAJ) were solicited (SA005134), and four (4) proposals (4 MAJ) were received and opened October 16, 2013.
