Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division for a professional services engineering contract for the General Engineering Roadways 2006, project with Jones Stuckey Limited, Inc. in the amount of $250,000. The projects developed under this program are typically small to moderate size improvements throughout City streets and roadways. The services will include producing engineered construction drawings for various projects that are primarily within the public right-of-way. A professional services contract for engineering is needed to assure timely completion of the designs and as the Transportation Division does not maintain adequate staff or all of the various engineering disciplines necessary to complete such designs in house.
The selection process for this professional services contract was completed in accordance with provisions of Chapter 329 of the Columbus City Code 1959. Proposals were received from 14 firms seeking consideration for this project. Jones Stuckey Limited Inc, CC#10723296, expiration date 11/16/08, submitted the best overall proposal for this work.
Emergency action is requested so that this project can proceed in a timely manner and keep commitments made to the local community. The Transportation Division has existing design tasks that would be desirable to assign to the consultant in association with projects that will be constructed in 2007. Therefore, emergency action is requested for the earliest use of this contract.
Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $250,000.00 are budgeted within the 2006 Capital Improvements Budget and available in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund for the Transportation Division in the Roadway Improvements project.
