Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a construction contract, in the amount of $338,765.35, with the Jack Conie and Sons Corporation (dba Conie Construction Company,) in connection with the City Bridge Rehabilitation - Sylvan Culvert Project (CIP No. 530301-100008), which is located on the west side of Columbus. This ordinance further authorizes the expenditure of up to $67,753.65, for construction administration and inspection services.

Engineering personnel from the Division of Planning and Operations, along with bridge consultant GPD Associates, performed an inspection of the bridge on May 24, 2010. This field examination found further deterioration of the beams and a critical scour condition in proximity to the bridge foundation. The Director of the Department of Public Service ordered the bridge be closed immediately to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In response to these events, a Mayor's Emergency was declared on June 14, 2010.

This department requested and received funding within the 2010 Capital Improvements Budget for this bridge replacement project. However, due to the complete closure of this roadway, the department has undertaken an informal, competitive procurement effort, and opened sealed bids from four contractors on June 10, 2010.

Company Name Bid Amt City/State Status
Conie Construction $338,765.35 Columbus Majority
The Righter Co., Inc. $381,174.81 Columbus Majority
John Eramo & Sons $396,705.10 Hilliard Majority
Complete General $396,971.18 Columbus Majority

Conie Construction Company was found to be the lowest, best, and most responsive and responsible bidder, based upon an evaluation of the bids received.

It is expected that this work will be complete within 90 days of the contract award.
