Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract to install a street lighting system using wood poles and overhead lines for the Leawood Gardens and Willis Park Area. This legislation also authorizes a transfer of funds within the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund and an amendment to the 2002 Capital Improvements Budget.

The bid opening was advertised in the City Bulletin and three bids were received and opened by the Director of Public Utilities on June 11, 2003. Two bids were from majority business enterprises and one was from a certified emerging female business enterprise, U.S. Utility Contractor Co., Inc. The bids received were as follows:

Vendor Contract Compliance Amount
U.S. Utility Contractor Co., Inc. 341606689 $277,337.97
Jess Howard Electric 314405752 $336,904.05
Davis Company Inc. 311082719 $353,390.10

The bids have been evaluated and an award is recommended to U.S. Utility Contractor Co., Inc. as the lowest responsive bid.

In addition, approval is requested for the expenditure of $30,185.00 to pay the estimated construction inspection costs to the Transportation Division.

Emergency action is requested in order that the contract may be executed and construction may be completed during the 2003 construction season.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient funding in the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution System Improvements Fund. This legislation authorizes the transfer and the expenditure of funds.
