Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is undertaking the Demorest Road/Sullivant Avenue Improvement project. This project provides for the complete reconstruction of Demorest Road from Glorious Avenue to Parkside Road. The road will be widened from two lanes to three lanes with curbing, sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps and traffic signal improvements. Sullivant Avenue will be widened and improved from Wilson Road to Athens Avenue with similar improvements. The deteriorating storm sewer trench along Sullivant Avenue between Athens Avenue and Sylvan Avenue will be rehabilitated with that portion of Sullivant Avenue being repaved.

The project was advertised in the City Bulletin and in Dodge Reports and by the Builders Exchange. Twelve bidders/suppliers were solicited (eleven majority, one minority) and six bids were received (six majority, no minority) and tabulated on October 28, 2005 as follows:

bidder / bid amount
Trucco Construction Company / $4,678,769.20
Complete General Construction Company / $4,696,488.94
George J. Igel and Company, Incorporated / $4,768,641.38
Double Z Construction Company / $4,861,963.94
Nickolas Savko and Sons, Incorporated / $4,907,016.18
Shelly & Sands, Incorporated / $5,274,661.28


Award of the contract is to be made to Complete General Construction Company, contract compliance #31-4366382 (expires March 1, 2008), as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder. Trucco Construction Company, the apparent low bidder, indicated their ineligibility for the City's local vendor credit in their bid submittal, making Complete General Construction Company's bid lower once the credit was factored. This legislation authorizes a contract in an amount up to $4,696,488.94 and construction inspection costs up to $415,653.00, a total of $5,112,141.94.

Fiscal Impact: The total cost of the project is $5,112,141.94. Ohio Public Works Commissio...
