Explanation
The Transportation Division is responsible for maintaining the City's roadway system in a safe manner. Guardrail and fence repair projects are needed to restore accident damage locations, replace deteriorating structures, and to install new structures. This project was bid in compliance with the Columbus City Codes and advertised in the Columbus City Bulletin. Bids were received and tabulated on January 11, 2007, by the Transportation Division. Two bid proposals were received as follows:
Vendor / Bid Amount / Vendor Status
M. P. Dory Company / $213,695.00 / Majority
Lake Erie Construction Company / $255,125.00 / Majority
Award of the contract is recommended to M.P. Dory Company (contract compliance number 31-1115885 expiring on January 11, 2008) as the lowest responsive, responsible and best bidder. As advertised, the bid document solicited pricing on a unit price basis and was then tallied based on an estimated quantity to be purchased; however, the bid document indicated the actual quantities to be ordered will be based on how many units could be purchased from the established budget. The 2007 budget for this project was established as $250,000.00, accordingly additional quantities can now be ordered and allow the Division to operate within its budget.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for this contract are budgeted and available within the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund. The amounts spent on guardrail and fence repair in 2004, 2005 and 2006 were $182,000.00, $250,476.00, and $242,851.00 respectively.
Emergency action is requested to allow this work to get underway as soon as possible to eliminate dangerous existing conditions thereby promoting motorist and pedestrian safety.
