Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a contract with the Kokosing Construction Company, Inc., in the amount of $1,186,382.45 for the construction of the 2007 Annual Lining Contract Project.
This project has been developed to repair and reduce infiltration to public sanitary sewers. Work to be completed by this contract consists of the rehabilitation of approximately 14,800 LF of 8-, 12-, and 15-inch sewers utilizing the Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) process, manhole rehabilitation and such other work as may be necessary to complete the contract in accordance with the plans and specifications
The Director of Public Utilities publicly opened three competitive bid proposals on June 13, 2007. Bids were submitted by Kokosing Construction Company, Inc., United Survey, Inc., and Reynolds Inliner, LLC. United Survey submitted the low bid; however, Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. is considered the lowest bidder after Local Business, Local Workforce, Quality Training Contractor, Health Insurance Provided, and Retirement or Pension Plan Provided credits are taken into account. The City's project manager has recommended the award based upon their estimate, and evaluation of the low bidders proposal.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
A transfer of cash and budget authority is not necessary in this ordinance as the project already has sufficient funding and authority in the 2007 Capital Improvements Budget.
