Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Proline Electric, Inc for the renovation of the emergency generator at Fire Station No. 24, 5185 Morse Road. Ordinance No. 0119-2009, passed February 9, 2009, authorized a contract for professional architectural/engineering services for the design of an appropriate generator for Fire Station No. 24. The current generator does not supply power to the life safety systems. A new generator will ensure the continued operation of Fire Station No. 24 during power outages. Power outages often occur during major events such as electrical and snow storms.

Formal bids were solicited and two companies submitted bids on September 8, 2009 as follows (0 MBE, 0 FBE):

Proline Electric $108,905.00
Affordable Choice Electric $127,147.00

The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid be awarded to the most responsive, responsible and best bidder, Proline Electric.

Emergency action is requested so that the fire station will remain in operation during power outages, thereby ensuring the best emergency services to the residents of Columbus.

Fiscal Impact: The amount of this contract is $108,905.00. The Division of Fire will provide funding for this project through the Safety Voted Bond Fund.

Proline Electric Contract Compliance No. 31-1487377 Expiration date November 25, 2010.
