Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract in an amount up to $80,771.40 for the McKinley Avenue (OPWC) project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $9,700.00. This improvement consists of lining approximately 1,281 lineal feet of 8-inch and 221 lineal feet of 10-inch cured-in-place (CIPP) sewer lines including cleaning, trimming of protruding service laterals, service lateral determination, service lateral reinstatement; sewer videotaping and inspection, bypass pumping and such other work necessary to meet all contract requirements. This work is a prelude to an upcoming $10 million dollar roadway improvement project that will widen McKinley Avenue between Souder Avenue and Central Avenue to three lanes complete with new water, sanitary and storm lines and curbs and gutters in 2007. The estimated Notice to Proceed date is May 31, 2005. The contractor has been given 120 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. Eight (8) bidders/suppliers were solicited [seven (7) majority and one (1) minority)] and two (2) bids were received [two (2) majority and zero (0) minority] and tabulated on April 14, 2005 as follows:
Bidder / Bid Amount
American Water Services Underground Infrastructures, Incorporated / $80,771.40
Kokosing Construction Company / $96,732.25
The Transportation Division recommend the contract award to American Water Services Underground Infrastructure, Incorporated, Contract Compliance Number 76-0469163 (expires February 11, 2006) as the lowest, best, most responsive, and most responsible bidder.
Fiscal Impact: The total cost of this improvement, including construction inspection, is $90,471.00. The Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) will eventually contribute up to $2,275,000.00 to the larger project with $90,471.40 of this being made available immediately. This ordinance appropriates this $90,471.40 within the State Issue Two Street Projects Fund and authorizes its expenditure.
Emergency action is requested to provide for construction as soon as practical in order to meet Ohio Public Works Commission requirements.
