Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Safety to enter into a contract with Allstate Tower Company for the repainting and installation of LED flashing beacons and sidelights with new control boxes on two radio towers owned and operated by the Division of Support Services. Allstate Tower Company will also install lightning rod/ground systems at these two towers, which are located at 5900 Parsons Avenue and 4250 Groves Road. This work is necessary in order to remain compliant with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. The paint on the towers is fading and requires upgrading so that the towers remain visible to low flying aircraft. Failure to maintain the towers can subject the Division to fines by the FAA and FCC.

This ordinance also authorizes the amendment of the 2010 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) and authorizes the City Auditor to transfer funds between projects within the Safety Voted Bond Fund.

The selection process for this contract was completed in accordance with the competitive procurement provisions under Section 329.14 of the Columbus City Code. Proposals were received for SA003609 on June 24, 2010 from five (5) companies as follows (0 MBE, 0 FBE):
