Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation amends the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget, authorizes the transfer of funds within the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund and authorizes the Public Utilities Director to enter into a contract to install a street lighting system using wood poles and overhead lines for Refugee Road from Hamilton Road to Winchester Pike.

The bid opening was advertised in the City Bulletin and six responsive bids were received and opened by the Director of Public Utilities on September 15, 2004. Five bids were from majority business enterprises and one was from a certified emerging female business enterprise. The bids have been evaluated and an award is recommended to U.S. Utility Contractor Co., a certified emerging female business enterprise, as the lowest responsive bid received, in the amount of $153,352.40. Their contract compliance number is 341606689. A bid tabulation is attached.

In addition, approval is requested for the expenditure of $25,410.00 to pay the estimated construction inspection costs to the Transportation Division.

Emergency action is requested in order that the contract may be executed and construction may be started during the 2004 construction season.

FISCAL IMPACT: $110,000 was budgeted in the 2004 CIB for this project. It is necessary to transfer funds within the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund 553 from the miscellaneous street lighting project and Leawood Gardens and Willis Park project for the difference. An amendment to the 2004 CIB is necessary to reflect the transfers and the additional funds made available by a cancellation.
