Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the option to purchase Various Asphalt Concretes for the Department of Public Service, Division of Planning and Operation and all city agencies. The term of the proposed option contracts will be through April 30, 2015 with the option to extend one additional year, subject to mutual agreement by both parties, in accordance with formal bid SA004716. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on December 20, 2012. The various asphalt concretes will be used for construction and repair of city roadways.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA004716). Twenty-three (23) bids were solicited (MAJ:17, M1A: 5; F1:1) Four bids were received (MAJ: 4).
The Purchasing Office is recommending award of two contracts to the lowest responsive, responsible and best bidders:
Shelly Materials, Inc., CC#311574851, exp. 12/14/13
Kokosing Materials, Inc., CC#310980603, exp. 11/18/13
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $600,000.00
These companies are not debarred according to the Excluded Parties listing of the Federal Government and are not listed in the Auditor of States database for Findings for Recovery.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because without emergency action street construction and repair will be delayed and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish two option contracts is budgeted in the Mail, Print Services, and UTC Fund. The city agency will be required to obtain approval to expend from its own appropriations.
