Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Ohio Paving & Construction Co., Inc. for the construction of the Fleet Management Auction Lot at 4211 Groves Road.
To maximize the resale value of vehicles no longer required by the City, vehicles are placed at a single city location across the street from the Fleet Management Division facility. This allows for proper security, controlled visitation by prospective buyers, and title work when vehicles are to be sold. For the past several years this storage lot has been in a former wood storage pavilion across the street from Fleet Management; however, this facility is under consideration for other city operations. Furthermore, since it is across the street it is not operationally optimal - vehicles and personnel must move back and forth across Groves Road.
This project will provide a secured asphalt paved surface lot with site lighting and a security building from which the fleet auction lot operation will funtion.
Formal bids were solicited and the City received two bids on May 1, 2014 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
Ohio Paving & Construction Co., Inc. $732,180.00
WB Republic Builders LLC $832,000.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, Ohio Paving & Construction Co., Inc.
Emergency action is requested to begin and complete this project this summer when weather conditions are most optimal for this kind of construction activity.
Ohio Paving & Construction Co., Inc. Contract Compliance No. 34-1708850, expiration date August 28, 2015.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this contract is $732,180.00. Funding is available in the Fleet Capital Improvement Fund. This legislation is contingent upon the City's 2014 bond sale.
