Explanation

This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Main Street Wheelchair Ramps project in accordance with plans, specifications, and estimates for the improvement. This project will provide for the construction of 88 curb ramps on Main Street between the Bexley and Whitehall corporation limits and between the Whitehall and Reynoldsburg corporation limits. This project also includes retrofitting 19 compliant curb ramps with detectable warning features. This project is necessary to construct the required curb ramps in advance of a joint ODOT/City urban paving project scheduled for 2004. ODOT requires that the local municipality construct the curb ramps at 100% local cost. This project was advertised on-line on the City Bulletin web-page. In addition, bids were solicited from ten vendors. Five bids were opened on November 13, 2003, and were tabulated as follows:

Contractor / Bid Amount

Shelly and Sands, Inc. $244,101.30
Miller Pavement Maintenance $271,496.86
McDaniels Construction Corp. $292,213.39*
Columbus Asphalt Paving $334,567.78
Decker Construction Company $349,722.13

*MBE

The Transportation Division recommends the bid award to Shelly and Sands, Inc., in the amount of $244,101.30, Contract Compliance Number 31-4351261 (expires January 28, 2005) as the lowest, best, most responsive, and most responsible bidder. This legislation also authorizes expenditure for construction inspection costs up to $25,000.00.

Funds are budgeted in the Resurfacing project within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.

Emergency action is requested for immediate execution of the construction contract for the earliest possible start of construction so that the improvement may be completed by May 14, 2004.
