Explanation

Background: The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, routinely contracts for street resurfacing as a means of renewing and prolonging the life of streets and highways. Street resurfacing improves rideability and reduces street maintenance expenses. This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract with Strawser Paving Company, Inc. in an amount up to $1,107,370.65 for the 2008 Resurfacing Project 4, Neighborhood Pride project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $110,737.06. This improvement consists of planing, asphalt overlay, concrete curb ramps, and such other work as may be necessary to complete the contract in accordance with the plans and specifications in selected Neighborhood Pride Areas of the City.

The estimated Notice to Proceed date is August 4, 2008. This project has been given 60 calendar days to complete construction.

Ten City streets will be resurfaced and 110 ADA curb ramps constructed with this project. No sidewalks will be constructed.

The Contractor has implemented and enforces an Anti-idling policy for all of its on and off road vehicles and equipment in an effort to protect the environment by reducing vehicle emissions.

The project was let by the Transportation Division and was advertised in the City Bulletin, Dodge Reports, and by the Builders Exchange. Four (4) bids were received (4 majority, 0 minority) and tabulated on June 5, 2008 as follows:

Strawser Paving Company, Inc. (low) $1,107,370.65
Decker Construction Company $1,186,044.23
Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc. $1,209,066.64
Shelly and Sands, Inc. $1,302,300.40

Award is to be made to Strawser Paving Company, Inc. c.c. # 31-4412354 (expiring March 7, 2009), as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.

Emergency action is requested to allow construction to begin on or around August 4, 2008...
