Explanation
Background:
A proposal was received by the Recreation and Parks Department on June 20, 2013 for the Wheeler Dog Park Fence Repair Project from McDaniel’s Construction Corp, Inc. in the amount of $65,586.62. The contract will be established pursuant to the state requirements contract with McDaniel’s Construction Corp, Inc. Ordinance 0582-87 authorizes City agencies to participate in the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) cooperative contracts when deemed to be “cost effective” to the City of Columbus. This will allow the Department of Recreation and Parks to replace damaged fence and reconfigure some of the areas allowing for improved turf maintenance.
This ordinance will allow for a pilot program for fence repairs utilizing an established state term contract based on the concept of Job Order Contracting (JOC). The JOC allows the City to get commonly encountered construction projects done using a different contracting method. By using JOC, the City hopes to reduce costs, time and errors for certain renovation and construction projects. The State of Ohio bid JOC through the use of a unit price book, which provides for preset costs for specific construction tasks. Winning bidders were selected based on their mark-up or discount from these preset costs. The Recreation and Parks Department wishes to use this contract to measure its effectiveness in comparison to the traditional construction procurement method. The Purchasing Office has asked several City divisions to use the State of Ohio JOC program as a test. If deemed effective by the user divisions, the Purchasing Office will consider conducting a City procurement process for a JOC program specifically for the City of Columbus. Planning Areas: 13
