Explanation
Background: This legislation is for the option to establish one (1) UTC contract for School Speed Limit Sign Supports to be used by the Department of Public Service, the primary user. Supports are needed for school speed limit signs, beacons and associated equipment along roadways throughout the City of Columbus. The term of the proposed option contract is through October 31, 2017. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on August 27, 2015.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the competitive bid section of the City Code (Solicitation SA005975). Eighty-One (81) bids were solicited: (MBR: 3), (M1A: 1), (F1: 1). Two (2) bids were received, but one was a no bid on all items.
The Purchasing Office is recommending award to the overall lowest, responsive, responsible, and best bidder as follows:
General Supply & Services Inc. / DBA GEX Pro; CC# 205021902; expires 06/22/2017; Items 1-3; $1.00
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $30,000.00
This company is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because without emergency action School Speed Limit Sign Supports will not be available and the efforts of the Department of Public Service to maintain supports needed for school speed limit signs, beacons and associated equipment along roadways along roadways would be delayed and the efficient delivery will be slowed.
Fiscal Impact: Funding to establish this option contract is from the General Fund. City agencies will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
