Explanation

Background: The Transportation Division is responsible for traffic signal installation and maintenance along the City's roadway system. To accomplish this mission the Division requires a conduit layer to place underground cable and conduit without the need to dig trenches. This ordinance authorizes a purchase of a new conduit layer for the Transportation Division. Additionally, this unit will require a trailer to transport it to remote work sites. This conduit layer will be an addition to the fleet and will help to provide more reliable services by the Division.

Bids were advertised in the City Bulletin and were received by the Purchasing Office on August 5, 2004 for Bid SA-001228GRW as follows:

Vendor / Conduit Layer / Trailer / Unit Cost / Status
Ohio Underground, Inc. / Ditch Witch JT920L / Superline BW7T162 / $86,900 / Majority

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $3.2 million for equipment in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget. Thus far in 2004, the Division has spent $362,701 of the equipment budget. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $86,900.00. Including this ordinance, another $2.14 million in equipment legislation is pending before Council. The remaining balance will be used to purchase additional vehicles before the end of 2004. Ohio Underground, Incorporated, contract compliance #31-1720417, met specifications as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.

Emergency action is requested to ensure that the conduit layer with trailer is available for use as soon as possible.
