Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the City to enter into a contract in an amount up to $1,182,593.85 for the Taylor Station Road Widening project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $135,000.00. This improvement widens Taylor Station Road from East Broad Street to 3,051 feet north of Broad Street and adds a right turn lane from East Broad Street to Taylor Station Road and includes sidewalks, curb ramps, signal work and drainage. The estimated Notice to Proceed date is August 6, 2007. This project is to be completed by November 9, 2007. This is the first contract and may possibly be modified in the future to include work that can be completed concurrently. The project was let by the Transportation Division and was advertised in the City Bulletin, Dodge Reports, and by the Builders Exchange. 12 bidders/suppliers were solicited (10 majority, 2 minority) and 6 bids were received (6 majority) and tabulated on May 10, 2007 as follows:

Double Z Construction Co. $1,179,836.15
Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc. $1,182,593.85
Shelly & Sands, Inc $1,216,981.80
Decker Construction Company $1,229,431.70
Strawser Paving Company $1,232,850.05
Complete General Construction Company $1,339,453.77


Award is to be made to Columbus Asphalt Paving c.c. #31-0857095 (expiring May 23, 2008), as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder. The lowest bid, from Double Z Construction Company, has been deemed unresponsive due to an incomplete proposal bond.

Emergency action is requested to allow immediate expenditure of the necessary funds so that construction may begin on August 6, 2007.

Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $1,317,593.85 for this project.
