Background: This legislation authorizes the City to enter into a contract in an amount up to $175,152.19 for the Taylor Avenue Project, and to pay construction inspection costs up to $57,319.50. This improvement details the construction of curb and sidewalk on Taylor Avenue from Harvard Avenue to Rosethorne Avenue and includes curbs, curb ramps, concrete sidewalk, minor pavement work, landscaping, and other associated work. (See the attached map.) This project is being is being completed on behalf of the Development department in conjunction with the Taylor Homes redevelopment. The Notice to Proceed is estimated at June 25, 2003. This project has been given 90 days to complete the construction of the project.

Twelve bidders/suppliers were solicited (8 majority, 4 minority) and four bids were received (3 majority, 1 minority) and tabulated on May 15, 2003 as follows:

G & G Cement Contractors: $172,132.46
Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc.: $175,152.18
McDaniels Construction Corp, Inc.: $240,441.20

G&G Cement Contractors submitted the lowest bid but evaluation of the quality contractor criteria gives Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc. the lowest effective bid after receiving additional 1% credits each for having health insurance, a retirement plan, and training which G&G did not have.
