Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes a bidding waiver for the Director of Public Service to enter into service contracts with Lake Erie Construction Company and Rocal Inc.in the amount of up to $90,000.00 for highway signage upgrading services.
Highway signage upgrading services consist of replacing or updating signage on highways that are within the City of Columbus corporate boundaries. The highway signage upgrading services are needed whenever signage shows signs of unacceptable wear affecting safety of the traveling public. The funds encumbered by this ordinance will be available for use on the current upgrading needs.
Typically ODOT maintains signage for highways via state contract, with Columbus responsible for funding signage upgrading within Columbus corporate boundaries. Upgrading is normally ordered for the entire ODOT region, but due to a specific material failure, the upgrading of a smaller subset of signs is needed outside the planned ODOT schedule. Lake Erie Construction Company and Rocal Inc. are vendors with the current ODOT state contract and are able to accommodate the accelerated upgrading schedule. A bidding waiver is requested to award a contract to Lake Erie Construction Company and Rocal Inc. to upgrade or replace existing highway signs to maintain the safety of the traveling public on Columbus highways.
Searches in the Excluded Party List System (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against Lake Erie Construction Company or Rocal Inc.
