Explanation
The Transportation Division is responsible for maintaining the City's pavement marking system. A raised pavement marker (RPM) project is needed to install reflective raised pavement markers on various roadways throughout the City. Every year, the Transportation Division puts plans together to install raised pavement markers (RPM's) on selected roadways as part of our pavement marking program. RPM's are a highly effective treatment to help enhance the visibility of pavement markings during nighttime and bad weather conditions. This project includes installation of RPMs on seventy-seven roadways in the City of Columbus. This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into an contract with W.L. Markers Inc., for the Raised Pavement Markers project.

This ordinance also authorizes funding to provide inspection services in the amount of $31,382.56. This project was bid in compliance with the Columbus City Code and advertised in the Columbus City Bulletin. Formal competitive bids were received and tabulated on June 17, 2004 by the Transportation Division as follows:
Vendor/ Bid Amount/ Status
W.L. Markers Incorporated/ $209,217.06/ Majority
International Contractors Corporation/ $225,938.78/ Majority
Lake Erie Construction Company/$241,925.00/Majority
The Barbour Company/$306,632.51/Majority

The Transportation Division recommends the bid award to W.L. Markers, Incorporated, as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder. Contract compliance number 31-1657131 (expires May 5, 2007).
