Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract for the installation of a street lighting system with underground wiring under the assessment procedure. Property owners have submitted a petition for a high pressure sodium street lighting system with ornamental poles and underground wiring for the Miami Avenue area, including Miami Avenue from Broad Street to Long Street. This project will be entirely paid by resident assessment. No Division of Power and Water funding will be used for this project.

Resolution No. 0036X-2007, adopted April 16, 2007, authorized the preparation of plans and specifications. Resolution of Necessity 093X-2007 was adopted July 9, 2007. Ordinance Number 0317-2008, Determine to Proceed, was passed March 31, 2008.

Five bids were received and opened by the Director of Public Utilities on June 4, 2008, against Solicitation No. SA002902: U.S. Utility Contractor Co. $31,680.77; Jess Howard Electric $32,337.25; Tip-Dan Electric $37,119.50; Complete General $42,559.00; and M.P. Dory $47,135.00. The Division of Power and Water recommends an award to U.S. Utility Contractor Co., 3115 East Seventeenth Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43219, in the amount of $31,680.77 as the lowest, responsive, and responsible bid received. Their Contract Compliance Number is 34-1606689 (expires 2/28/10, F1).

Please see attachment ORD 1105-2008 Bid Tab.doc and ORD 1105-2008 Insp. Costs for further information pertaining to bids and estimated associated costs.

Emergency action is requested due to citizens' approved petition for a timely implementation of construction services.

FISCAL IMPACT: The entire cost of this project shall be assessed to the property owners of the affected parcels. This legislation is a companion to Ordinance 1145-2008, which authorizes the issuance and sale of special assessment bond anticipation notes in the amount of $39,000.
