Explanation

The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is responsible for creating and maintaining safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian traffic flows. This mission is effected by utilizing longitudinal channelizers. Longitudinal channelizers are the combination of raised, rounded, easily mountable, inter-locking separators profiled by highly reflective elements and reboundable traffic posts working together to assist motorists navigating difficult traffic situations and to discourage motorists from making dangerous and sometimes illegal traffic movements.

Formal competitive bids were received and opened on November 10, 2005 and the Purchasing Office established a citywide contract for the purpose of acquiring channelizers (Ordinance 0257-2006, FL002970); the citywide contract vendor is Columbus Supply and expires December 31, 2008.

This ordinance authorizes the purchase of longitudinal channelizers for the Transportation Division in the amount of $100,000.00.

Fiscal Impact: This purchase is budgeted within the Transportation Division's 2007 Capital Improvements Budget in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Curb Replacement project.

Emergency action is requested to expedite the receipt of this commodity that is needed immediately because current stock is virtually depleted. As winter approaches, stock will be needed to repair these channelizers, in case they are damaged during a snow event. This commodity is needed for utilization in the division's on-going traffic calming programs, and 3-dimensional lane channel marking for enhanced safety to the motor vehicle traveling public.
