Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the City to enter into a contract in an amount up to $500,000.00 for the General Bridge Maintenance 2007 project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $50,000.00. The locations identified are Phase I (SR 104 over Haul Road) and Phase II (Groveport Road over SR 104, Whittier Street over Railroad and WoodBrook Lane over Early Run). These are in need of bridge deck repair work. Several areas on the bridge deck are loose and broken. Additional locations will be identified on an as needed basis. The estimated Notice to Proceed date is November 15, 2007. This project has been given 360 days to complete construction. The project was let by the Transportation Division and was advertised in the City Bulletin, Dodge Reports, and by the Builders Exchange. 7 bidders/suppliers were solicited ( 5 majority, 2 minority) and 2 bids were received (2 majority, 0 minority) and tabulated on September 14, 2007 as follows:

Complete General Construction Company $233,036.40
DOT Construction $370,256.00


Award is to be made to Complete General Construction Company C.C. #31-4366382 (expiring 3/1/2008), as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.

The bid was issued on a unit cost basis thereby allowing the City to award more or less work based on the budget for the overall project. Accordingly, the contract amount will be established for work up to $500,000.00, and associated inspection costs up to $50,000.00.

Emergency action is requested so that construction may begin on November 15, 2007.

Fiscal Impact: Funding for this project is budgeted within the Transportation Division as part of the Capital Improvement Program and is available within the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund for this work.
