Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract with Decker Construction Company in the amount of $386,998.23 for the Hollenback Drive Improvement project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $57,952.00 for the Transportation Division. This improvement details construction for Hollenback Drive that is the principal lead-in roadway to the Park of Roses and to the Clintonville Public Library (see the attached map). The limits of the work are from a point 185 feet west of Milton Avenue to North High Street. The work for which proposals were invited consists of concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter, straight curb, under drain, asphalt concrete and other associated work. This project was originally one of a set of three locations requested by the Sewerage and Drainage Division to address severe ponding at each site but was subsequently broken out for separate bidding and construction. The Notice to Proceed is estimated to be effective on or about October 31, 2004, with project completion not later than June 1, 2005. This project was advertised on/at the City's formal bid listing web page, Dodge Reports and Builders' Exchange. Twelve bidders/suppliers were solicited (nine majority, three minority) and four bids were received (three majority, one minority) and tabulated on September 16, 2004 as follows:

Bidder / Bid Amount / Status
Decker Construction Company / $386,998.23 / Majority
McDaniel's Construction Company, Incorporated / $425,163.18 / Minority
Columbus Asphalt Paving, Incorporated / $435,715.61 / Majority
Complete General Construction Company / $462,722.14 / Majority

Evaluation of the quality contractor criteria confirms the low bidder's acceptability and therefore award of the contract is recommended to Decker Construction Company, contract compliance number 31-0983557 (expires 7/07/2006) as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.
