Explanation

This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract with Jones-Stuckey Limited for general engineering services for the Sidewalk Installation Program Phase VI project in the amount of $200,000.00 for the Transportation Division. These services include producing construction drawings for various projects within the public right-of way, especially those pertaining to sidewalks. A contract for professional engineering services is needed to assure timely completion of the design plans.

The selection process for the professional services contract has been completed in accordance with provisions of Chapter 329.14 of the Columbus City Code, 1959. Eleven firms submitted proposals. The evaluation committee determined that Jones-Stuckey Limited, contract compliance #31-0723296 (expiring May 30, 2005) submitted the best overall proposal for this work.

Through previously passed and pending legislation, the Transportation Division has exhausted all available cash within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance appropriates and transfers funding within the Special Income Tax Fund and then transfers it to the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund to fund this contract. This is a temporary measure until the next bond/note sale, at which time the money will be reimbursed to the Special Income Tax Fund.

Emergency action is requested to allow sidewalk design to proceed immediately; design is a prerequisite to sidewalk construction that will promote and enhance pedestrian safety, especially for school children now forced to walk in the street or on undivided berms.
