Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Ribway Engineering Group, Inc., for professional engineering services for Manchester/Hiawatha/Cooke Stormwater System Improvements. This project has been developed to mitigate poor drainage in several areas of north Columbus.

2. ENGINEERING CONTRACT AWARD: Ribway Engineering Group, Inc. was selected in accordance with the procedures set forth in Columbus City Code, Section 329.11, " A city agency may award a professional service contract expected to cost over twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00), but not exceeding fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) by any process chosen by the city agency so long as such process is designed to provide for competition among potential contractors and objectivity in the selection of a contractor".

Requests For Cost Proposals were sent to three firms having the experience necessary to complete the project. These firms were: ATS-Chester Engineers, Dynotec, Inc., and Ribway Engineering Group, Inc. Three proposals were received and opened on February 24, 2006. Ribway Engineering Group, Inc. was chosen since they submitted the lowest bid. The cost of the contract is based on a cost plus fixed fee with a not to exceed limit. The quote from Ribway Engineering Group, Inc. was for $35,600 and the Division of Sewerage and Drainage is adding an additional $4,400 for contingencies, for a grand contract total of $40,000.00.

3. FISCAL IMPACT: The Division is requesting an amendment to the 2005 Capital Improvements Budget for purposes of establishing sufficient budget authority for this expenditure. In addition, this legislation includes a transfer of funds within the Storm Sewer Bonds Fund.
