Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the City to enter into a contract in an amount up to $443,044.75 for the Lighting Improvements of West Broad Street and to pay construction inspection costs up to $73,216.00. This improvement details construction on West Broad Street from Schultz Avenue to Starling Street and includes cast iron lamp posts and other associated work. (See the attached map.) The estimated Notice to Proceed is approximately January 10, 2005. This project is to be constructed by July 1, 2005. The project was let by the Transportation Division and was advertised in the City Bulletin, Dodge Reports, and by the Builders Exchange. Six bidders/suppliers were solicited (five majority, one minority) and four bids were received (four majority, no minority) and tabulated on September 23, 2004, as follows:

Vendor Amount
W.G. Fairfield Company $418,513.29
Complete General Construction Company $443,044.75
Jess Howard Electric Company $586,267.70
M. P. Dory Company $616,431.05

The apparent low bidder W.G. Fairfield made an error on their bid by calculating the force account work at 5% instead of 15%. Their bond amount was calculated on their bid total and was less then required based on the corrected amount. There bid was therefor unresponsive. Award is to be made to Complete General Construction Company CC# 31-4366382 (expiration 12/18/2005), as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.

Fiscal Impact: This ordinance certifies $516,260.75 is budgeted and available within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund for this work.
