Explanation
The Public Service Department, Fleet Management Division, is constructing a new fleet maintenance facility at 4211 Groves Road. The construction of turn lanes from Groves Road into the facility will facilitate easier and safer ingress and egress, decrease congestion and possibly reduce the incidence of rear-end accidents.

This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division for a professional services engineering contract for the Groves Road Widening project with Columbus Engineering Consultants in the amount of $121,764.28. A professional services contract for engineering is needed to assure timely completion of the design and as the Transportation Division does not maintain adequate staff or all of the various disciplines necessary to complete such design in house.

The selection process for the professional service contract was completed in accordance with provisions of Chapter 329 of the City Code, 1959. Fifteen majority firms submitted proposals. The evaluation committee determined that Columbus Engineering Consultants, Incorporated, contract compliance number 31-0716498 (expires April 11, 2008) submitted the best overall proposal at a competitive price for this work.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $121,764.28 are budgeted and available in the Transportation Division's 2006 Capital Improvements Budget in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Roadway Improvements project.

Emergency action is requested so that this project can proceed in a timely manner and keep commitments made to the local community. Design work completion is anticipated by April 19, 2007. The scheduled completion date for construction is October 11, 2007. The construction contract will be formally bid.
