Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with The Righter Company for installation of storm windows at 77 North Front Street.
Building occupants have experienced cold and air infiltration during the winter months, especially those office areas on the western side of the building. Installing interior storm window inserts are the least expensive and most effective solution to prevent air infiltration. By installing these window inserts, the cold and air infiltration will be greatly reduced, making workspace more thermally comfortable for building occupants and improving HVAC efficiency.
The project consists of, but it not limited to, installation of interior storm window panels in existing window openings, survey and verification of sizes of all existing window openings, and other work as may be necessary to complete the contract in accordance with the plans, technical specifications, and City of Columbus Construction and Material Specifications.
Formal bids were solicited and the City received one bid on May 31, 2016 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
The Righter Company $199,800.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends that the bid award be made to the sole bidder, The Righter Company.
Emergency action is requested to allow installation of the windows as soon as practical so that energy efficiencies may be obtained.
