Explanation

Background: The Transportation Division is responsible for maintaining the City's roadway system. To accomplish this mission, the Division requires two salt barns for the storage of rock salt that is used when snow and ice conditions are prevalent. These salt barns will each have the capacity to store 5,000 tons of rock salt. They will be constructed at the Roberts Road Outpost located 4380 Currency Drive and at the Marion Road Outpost located at 2260 Lockbourne Road. Additional salt storage capacity will lessen the adverse impact of delivery delays during adverse weather and/or periods of high demand for this commodity.

In order that the salt barns are built in time for use during the upcoming winter season it is necessary to wave the competitive bidding provisions of the City Code to obtain plans and specifications for the salt barns. The construction of the salt barns will need construction plans designed by Advanced Storage Technology, Incorporated, contract compliance number 16-1269023 (expires September 8, 2007). This company was responsible for the plans that were utilized to construct salt barns located at the main maintenance facility at 1850 East 25th Avenue and the North Outpost at 500 Scherers Court. The purchase price reflects the plans being certified by an Ohio-licensed architect; these will comply with all City of Columbus building regulations and codes. These plans will be used to formally bid the actual construction of the salt barns.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $2.95 million for facilities improvements in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget (CIB). All but approximately $20,000 of these funds have been spent or encumbered since the July 2004 bond sale. This ordinance will authorize an expenditure of $17,500.00.

Emergency action is requested to ensure that the salt barn plans are available as soon as possible.
