Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract in an amount up to $339,389.07 for the Pedestrian Pushbutton Access Project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $50,908.36 for the Transportation Division. This improvement details the construction of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-conforming pathways to pole-mounted, signal actuating pedestrian pushbuttons. Project is scheduled to start work in April 2005. This project has been given 75 calendar days for completion. The project was advertised in the Columbus City Bulletin and Dodge Reports and by the Builders Exchange and was let by the Transportation Division. Eight bidders/suppliers were solicited (6 majority, 2 minority) and four bids were received (3 majority, 1 minority) and tabulated on October 14, 2004 as follows:

Contractor / Bid Amount
G. Marchi and Son, LLC / $339,389.07
Columbus Asphalt Paving Company / $374,406.65
Decker Construction Company / $472,952.22
*McDaniel's Construction Corp., Inc. / $474,893.87

*MBE

The Transportation Division recommends that the contract be awarded to G. Marchi and Son, LLC, CC# 31-1632119 (expires January 28, 2005) for submitting the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bid.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $3.2 million for Pedestrian Safety Improvements in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget. The ADA Pushbutton Access Project was allocated $500,000 in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance authorizes a total expenditure of $390,297.43. The difference will be available for other pedestrian safety improvement expenditures.
