Explanation


BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities, Division of Power and Water (Power) maintains the freeway lighting within the City of Columbus and requires traffic control services to provide single lane closures on the median lanes in both directions on the freeway system to allow for City employees to replace lighting equipment. Formal bids for traffic control services were solicited in the City Bulletin, SA002084, and one bid was received and opened by the Director of Public Utilities on July 12, 2006.

The bid has been evaluated and a recommendation has been made to award a contract to Paul Peterson Company based upon their responsive and responsible bid. The bid was based upon the cost per occurrence for weekday and weekend closures. It is requested that an amount of $60,000 be awarded at this time based upon the funding available in the current budget for these services. Upon approval of Columbus City Council, the contract will be increased in 2007.

Paul Peterson Company is a majority-owned business and their contract compliance number is 310868875.

Emergency action is necessary in order that the contract may be executed as soon as possible to allow the work to begin prior to winter weather restrictions.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient budget authority in Object Level One 03 within the Electricity Operating Fund for this expenditure. $20,000 was spent in 2004 and $25,000 was spent in 2005 for these services.
