Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Jess Howard Electric for exterior lighting improvements at the rear of the Division of Police, Strategic Response Bureau, at 1120 Morse Road. Currently, there is minimal lighting in the rear parking lot. Lighting improvements are necessary to ensure the safety of users and visitors to the facility.
The work shall include furnishing two exterior pole mounted fixtures, complete with concrete foundations and anchor bolts, underground conduits with conductors, a new panel breaker, saw cutting and removal of asphalt pavements, excavation for new underground electrical raceways, backfill and compaction, and the patching of asphalt pavement where necessary.
Formal bids were solicited and two companies submitted bids on June 22, 2010 as follows (0 MBE, 0 FBE):
Jess Howard Electric $13,458.00
Capital City Electric $16,349.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, Jess Howard Electric.
Emergency action is requested so the work may begin as quickly as possible to increase security for City employees, users, and visitors to the facility.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $13,458.00 from the Safety Voted Bond Fund, where there are sufficient funds to cover this expense. In order to spend these funds, however, an amendment to the 2010 Capital Improvements Budget is needed in order to account for encumbrance cancellations.
