Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into contract with Complete General Construction Company, Inc., for the construction of the Cleveland Ave./Morse Rd. Drainage Improvements Project and the Strimple, Kilbourne Minerva, Avenues Assessment Sewer Project, and to pay a maximum of $3,060,313.28 for the construction contract; and the cost of the construction administration and inspection services with the Dept. of Transportation.

This project is necessary to construct stormwater and sanitary sewer improvements within an existing neighborhood located along Cleveland Avenue, north of Morse Road, on the northeast side of the City. By combining both the sanitary and stormwater improvements projects, the City will be able to minimize the impact that the construction activities will have upon the residents benefitting from this new infrastructure.

2. BID INFORMATION:

The results of these bids were: Complete General Construction Company submitted a bid of $2,782,102.98| Nickolas M. Savko & Sons submitted a bid of $2,839,701.12| Kokosing Construction Company-$2,885,300.40| and the George J. Igel Company-$2,920,445.40. Bid is recommended to the lowest, best, responsive and responsible bidder.

After payments have been accounted for, the City will bond the remaining balance of the property owners share of the project. This bond will then be retired from proceeds from the special assessment receipts included within the individual pro...
