Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Tyevco, Inc. for the renovation of the louvered wall, ninth floor, 120 Marconi Boulevard. The louver covers an entire wall on the west side of the building. Due to exposure of the elements and the prevailing winds (typically from the west), this louver has pulled away from its anchor points. This is a safety issue and needs to be repaired as soon as possible. The renovation will reattach and brace the louvered wall.
Formal proposals were solicited and six companies submitted bids on February 27, 2009 as follows:
(1 *FBE, 0 MBE):
Tyevco, Inc. $37,460.00
*Bomar Construction $38,169.00
Procon Professional $39,206.00
General Maintenance $41,793.00
Righter Company $49,400.00
Integrated Construction $65,000.00
Central Ohio Sheet Metal attempted to bid but did not include a performance bond. Mid Ohio Mechanical submitted its bid late. Therefore, both are non-responsive. The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive, responsible, and best bidder, Tyevco, Inc.
This ordinance also appropriates money to the Safety Voted Bond Fund. It increases appropriation within the Safety Voted Bond Fund to reflect cash transferred from the Health General Obligations Fund by Ordinance 0806-2009, passed June 15, 2009. The cash was properly transferred but inadvertenly not appropriated by said ordinance.
EMERGENCY ACTION is requested so that the renovation can occur as quickly as possible to eliminate any potential safety hazards.
