Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division with Decker Construction Company for the Urban Infrastructure #4 Group No. 5 Project in the amount of $757,058.20, and to pay construction inspection costs up to $96,103.00. This improvement involves South Fourth Street from Morril Avenue to Hanford Street and also includes the intersections of Frebis Avenue at Bruck Street and Southwood Avenue and Sixth Street. This improvement includes new curbs and sidewalk, curb ramps, curbed islands ("bump outs"), and other associated work. (See the attached plan title sheet.) This project is the Merion-Southwood neighborhood improvements requested as part of the Urban Infrastructure Recovery Fund program. The Notice to Proceed is estimated at July 21, 2003. Project completion is estimated at 120 calendar days. This project was advertised in the Columbus City Bulletin, Dodge Reports, and Builders Exchange and was let by the Transportation Division. Eight bidders/suppliers were solicited (6 majority, 2 minority) and four bids were received (3 majority, 1 minority) and tabulated on June 12, 2003 as follows:
Decker Construction Company $757,058.50
Columbus Asphalt paving Inc. $798,519.70
G & G Cement $901,224.72
McDaniel's Construction Corp., Inc.* $962,210.11

*MBE
Evaluation of the quality contractor criteria confirms the low bidder; therefore, award will be made to Decker Construction Company, CC 31-0983557 (expires 8/14/03), for the lowest responsive, responsible, and best bid.
Emergency action is requested for the immediate execution of the contract and the earliest possible start of construction so that the improvement may be substantially completed in 2003.
