Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish a purchase order and to expend funds for concrete work at Fire Station No. 10 at 1096 West Broad Street and the Division of Police Dog Run at 2609 McKinley Avenue. The purchase order will be established pursuant to the State Requirements contract with Lusk Mechanical Contractors, Inc.
This ordinance authorizes a contract for concrete work utilizing an established State Term Contract for 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 cost, time and errors for certain renovation, repair 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 Finance and Management Department, Facilities Management Division, wishes to use this contract and will measure its effectiveness in comparison to the traditional construction procurement method. If deemed effective, the Facilities Management Division will consider conducting its own procurement for a JOC program specifically for the City of Columbus.
Emergency action is requested so as to address various concrete projects before the advent of winter.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of the contract is $25,636.29. Funding is available in the Safety Voted Bond Fund.
