Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division for a professional services engineering contract for the General Engineering Bridges project with Jones Stuckey Ltd., Inc. in the amount of $300,000.00. Requested engineering services are primarily targeted towards the detailed evaluation and improvement of bridges and culverts. Associated services include the design of bridges and culverts, and the plans to repair existing structures. Any curb ramps that are needed will be designed to ADA specifications. The design will also investigate the need, if any, for additional storm water facilities.

A professional services contract for engineering is needed to assure timely completion of this design work and 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 has been done in accordance with provisions of Chapter 329.12 and 329.13 of Columbus City Codes 1959. Eleven firms submitted proposals: of these eleven, 9 were majority firms, 1 was a minority firm, and 1 was a female owned business

The evaluation committee determined that Jones Stuckey Ltd., Inc., CC #310723296, submitted the best overall proposal at a competitive price for this work.

Emergency action is requested so that this project can proceed in a timely manner. Plans for several of the projects to be included in this general engineering project need to be prepared as soon as possible to prevent possible safety issues with the bridges and culverts involved.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $300,000.00 are budgeted and available in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund for the Transportation Division.
