Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and increase a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Capital City Electric, LLC. for the renovation of energy efficient interior lighting for the City of Columbus fire stations.

The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 1667-2010, passed December 9, 2010, in the amount of $961,254.00. The initial contract authorized the renovation of eleven (11) fire stations: Fire Station No. 4, 300 Winchester Pike; Fire Station No. 5, 211 McNaughten Road; Fire Station No. 6, 5750 Maple Canyon Avenue; Fire Station No. 11, 2150 West Case Road; Fire Station No. 21, 3294 East Main Street; Fire Station No. 22, 3069 Parsons Avenue; Fire Station No. 23, 4452 East Livingston Avenue; Fire Station No. 27, 7560 Smoky Row Road; Fire Station No. 28, 3240 McCutcheon Road; and Fire Station No. 29, 5151 Little Turtle Way.

This modification will authorize the renovation for energy efficient interior lighting for an additional five stations: Fire Station No. 26, 5433 Fisher Road; Fire Station No. 30, 3555 Fishinger Boulevard; Fire Station No. 31, 5305 Alkire Road; Fire Station No. 32, 3675 Gender Road; and Fire Station No. 33, 440 Lazelle Road. Capital City Electric, LLC. has institutional knowledge of the project and performed the original renovations. It is practical and cost effective for the coordination and continuity of the project to use them for this modification. Therefore, it would not be in the best interests of the City to re-bid the renovations. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification, and they were the initial lowest and most responsive and responsible bidder; however, monies were not available.

Funding for this project is available from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG) Program, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, wh...
