Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Bomar Construction Company, Inc. for sidewalk and retaining wall improvements at Police Substation No. 1 & 18 at 1585 Morse Road.
The main entrance of Police Substation No. 1 & 18, is a pedestrian bridge. The pedestrian bridge is supported on both sides by a concrete wall. Over time this concrete wall has deteriorated and no longer supports one side of the bridge. At one point, wood supports were installed on one side of the pedestrian bridge but were meant only as a temporary fix. The current design would require the removal and replacement of the concrete wall, pedestrian bridge and sidewalk. Since there is only one entrance into the building, a second entrance will be made before construction starts at the main entrance.
Formal bids were solicited and four companies submitted bids on May 31, 2012 as follows (1 ^FBE, 0 MBE):
^Bomar Construction Company, Inc. $45,788.00
ProCon Professional Construction Services $46,080.00
Central Ohio Building Company, Inc. $58,700.00
The Righter Company $73,742.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, Bomar Construction Company, Inc
Emergency action is requested to begin design and construction as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of the sidewalk and bridge and prevent potential injury to pedestrians.
