Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Finance and Management Department, on behalf of the Department of Public Service, Division of Planning and Operations, to establish a purchase order in the amount of $39,752.40 with McDaniel's Construction Corporation, Incorporated, for the repair of Reznor heaters at 1850 E. 25th Avenue. A quotation was received by the Department of Public Service from McDaniel's Construction Corporation, Incorporated, in the amount of $39,752.40. The purchase order will be established pursuant to the State Requirements contract with McDaniel's. Ordinance #582-87 authorizes City agencies to participate in the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) cooperative contracts when deemed to be "cost effective" to the City of Columbus.
This ordinance will allow for a pilot program for the repair of the Reznor heaters utilizing an established State Term contract, based on the concept of Job Order Contracting (JOC). The JOC allows the City to get commonly encountered construction projects done using a different contracting method. By using JOC, the City hopes to reduce costs, time and errors for certain renovation, repair and construction projects. The State of Ohio bid JOC through the use of a unit price book, which provides for preset costs for specific construction tasks. Winning bidders were selected based on their mark-up or discount from these preset costs. The Finance and Management Department, Office of Purchasing, wishes to use this contract to measure its effectiveness in comparison to the traditional construction procurement method. If deemed effective, the Office of Purchasing will consider conducting its own procurement for a JOC program specifically for the City of Columbus.
Searches in the System for Award Management (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against McDaniel's Construction Corporation, Incorporated.
