Explanation

BACKGROUND:   This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division for a professional engineering services contract for the Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization (NCR) 2004 General Engineering project with DLZ Ohio, Inc., 6121 Huntley Road, Columbus, OH, 43229 in the amount of $500,000.00.  The NCR Program, a redevelopment partnership between the city, local area merchants and developers, builds upon the economic base of these areas to create an environment conducive to business growth and expansion by offering financial incentives to business owners, constructing public improvements, and strengthening the business association  There are a variety of individual projects to be designed as part of this contract.  They may consist of virtually any work that would be performed within the public right-of-way.  The most common type of project will be some variety of streetscape improvement.  A professional services contract for engineering is needed to assure timely completion of the design as the Transportation Division does not maintain adequate staff or have all of the various engineering disciplines and expertise necessary to complete such design in house.

The selection process for this professional services contract was completed in accordance with provisions of Chapter 329.14 of the Columbus City Code 1959.   Three firms submitted proposals: DLZ Ohio Inc., Dynotec Inc, and Resource International Inc.  The evaluation committee determined that DLZ Ohio, Inc., CC No. 31-1268980 (expiration 05/01/2005), submitted the best overall proposal for the work.

FISCAL IMPACT:   The Transportation Division 2004 Capital Improvements Budget contained $3.2 million for Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization (NCR) projects.  Included as part of the NCR projects is $500,000.00 for General Engineering services.  This ordinance authorizes $500,000 for engineering services for NCR projects from the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.

Title

To authorize the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division for a professional engineering services contract with DLZ Ohio, Inc., for the Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization (NCR) General Engineering 2004 project; to authorize the expenditure of $500,000.00 from the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.  ($500,000.00)
