Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Accurate Electric for installation of the whole house emergency generator at the Columbus Public Health Department, 240 Parsons Avenue.
Currently, Columbus Public Health Department has one generator but it only services medication storage refrigeration units on the first floor. Otherwise there is not sufficient back up power for Columbus Public Health to adequately function during emergencies. In case of loss of power this new whole house facility generator will provide full back up power in times of need to ensure the continuity of operations for the Columbus Public Health. Columbus Public Health is responsible to protect the health and safety of all residents within the city. Columbus Public Health is a key partner in response to both natural and man-made disasters/ emergencies and therefore has a need to be operational 24/7 so as to respond appropriately.
Formal bids were solicited and five companies submitted bids on December 7, 2012 (0 FBE, 0 MBE) as follows:
Accurate Electric $630,000.00
Dynalectric $638,866.00
Jess Howard Electric $653,451.00
Proline Electric, Inc. $691,100.00
Capital City Electric, LLC. $716,249.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, Accurate Electric.
Emergency action is requested to allow this project to proceed in a timely manner so that the health facility receives an emergency generator as quickly as possible, thereby minimizing the negative impacts associated with the loss of power and the programming needs that Columbus Public Health may need to provide during significant weather or other event.
