Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract to install a street lighting system on Cooper Road from Westerville Road to Interstate I-270. This legislation also authorizes an amendment to the 2006 Capital Improvements Budget.

The bid opening was advertised in the City Bulletin and four bids were received and opened by the Director of Public Utilities on December 6, 2006. Three bids were from majority business enterprises and one was from a certified emerging female business enterprise. The bids have been evaluated and an award is recommended to U.S. Utility Contractor Company, as the lowest responsive and responsible bid received, in the amount of $78,347.76. See attachments to this ordinance for further bid information.

In addition, approval is requested for the expenditure of $13,120.00 to pay the estimated construction inspection costs to the Transportation Division.

FISCAL IMPACT: It is necessary to transfer funds from the general Street Lighting Project to the Cooper Road Street Lighting Project, and to amend the 2006 Capital Improvements Budget accordingly.
