Explanation:
Background: This legislation authorizes the City to enter into a contract in an amount up to $500,523.35 for the Karl Road at Dublin-Granville Road project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $63,945.00. This project adds a right turn lane to the intersection and improves access control by constructing a median south of Dublin-Granville Road in front of the service road to help enforce the posted no right turn restriction onto Karl Road from that service road. The Notice to Proceed is estimated to be issued in June 2005. This project has been given 120 calendar days for completion. The project was advertised in the Columbus City Bulletin and Dodge Reports and by the Builders Exchange and was let by the Transportation Division. Nineteen bidders/suppliers were solicited (19 majority, 2 minority) and 4 bids were received (4 majority) and tabulated on February 17, 2005 as follows:
Bidder / Bid Amount/Status
Decker Construction Company / $500,523.35/ Majority
Complete General Construction Company / $577,811.44/ Majority
Double Z Construction / $627,777.53/ Majority
Trucco Construction Company, Incorporated / $635,303.49/ Majority
The Transportation Division recommends the bid award to Decker Construction Company, cc#31-0983557 (expires July 7, 2006), as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.
Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $550,000 in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for miscellaneous intersection improvements. This ordinance authorizes and expenditure of $564,468.35. Most of the funding for this project ($535,272.46) is available within the existing line items in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance transfers the difference ($29,195.89) to this project from the Spring Sandusky Interchange project.
Emergency action is requested to allow construction to commence in June 2005.
