Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division with Columbus Asphalt Paving in the amount of $818,463.58 for the Doren Avenue project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $98,280.00. This improvement details the reconstruction of Doren Avenue from Belvidere Avenue to Columbian Avenue and includes two pavement alternates (Alternate A is concrete base and Alternate B is full depth Asphalt), lighting, sidewalks, a water line on behalf of the Water Division and other associated work. This project was requested as part of the Urban Infrastructure Recovery Fund. The Notice to Proceed will be issued by July 22, 2003. All roadway pavement work is to be complete and open to traffic by November 21, 2003. All work is to be completed by June 1, 2004. This project was advertised in the Columbus City Bulletin, Dodge Reports, and Builders Exchange and was let by the Transportation Division. Ten bidders were solicited (8 majority, 2 minority) and four bids were received (4 majority, 0 minority) and tabulated on June 19, 2003 as follows:
Miller Pavement Maintenance, Inc. $689,938.21 (Alternate B)
Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc. $818,463.58 (Alternate A)
Nickolas Savko & Sons, Inc. $847,056.90 (Alternate A)
Complete General Construction Company $863,684.65 (Alternate A)
The bid submittal of the apparent low bidder, Miller Pavement, was non responsive and therefore discarded. Evaluation of the quality contractor criteria confirmed the next bidder and there for award is to be made to Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc. c.c. #31-0857095 (expiring August 16, 2004), as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.
Emergency action is requested for the immediate execution of the contract for the earliest possible start of construction so that the improvement may be substantially completed in 2003
