Explanation
The Transportation Division recently completed design plans to resurface Schrock Road from 161 feet east of Ambleside Drive to Cleveland Avenue. Schrock Road is also State Route 710 and qualifies for resurfacing under the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Urban Paving Program. The Urban Paving Program was established to evenly distribute state urban paving funds throughout Ohio.

According to state law, cities are required to pave the state routes within their boundaries; however, this is an expense most cities find difficult to fund. In response to this issue, the Urban Paving Program outlines an 80/20 percent funding allocation for each municipality for municipal corporations with populations that exceed 5,000 persons. ODOT will provide 80 percent of the paving funds and the municipalities must provide a 20 percent match.

All required Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant wheel chair ramps will be completed and accepted by the City of Columbus prior to the start of this project. The wheel chair ramp construction will be completed under a separate contract prior to the commencement of work under this contract.

This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract with Kokosing Construction Company, Incorporated, in an amount up to $514,336.49 for the Schrock Road Resurfacing (FRA-710-1.87) project and to pay associated construction inspection costs up to $51,433.65 for the Transportation Division. Although this project has already been bid the Notice to Proceed will not be issued until Spring 2006. Once the Notice to Proceed is issued the contractor will be given 60 days to complete the construction of the project. The project was let by the Transportation Division and was advertised in the City Bulletin, Dodge Reports and by the Builders Exchange. Six bids were received (six majority, no minority) and tabulated on October 6, 2005, as follows:
