Explanation
Background: This legislation will authorize the Director of the Department of Development to enter into contracts with nine contractors to provide maintenance services on City owned property being held in the Land Bank Program and to authorize the expenditure of $550,000.00 from the Land Management Fund. Maintenance services include services to remove trash and debris from structures, clean and abate vacant lots, secure structures, remove graffiti, trim trees, and similar work. The companies responded to an Invitation To Bid, RFQ-007628, and were selected by an evaluation committee as the companies with the best proposals based on prior experience, resources and qualifications. A total of eighteen companies responded. The nine companies selected are as follows:
CleanTurn International LLC
BCN Real Estate Holdings LLC
Truckco LLC
Yah's Construction LLC
Lawn Appeal
Consolidated Services & Management
Mowtivation Lawn Service LLC
IBAR Home Maintenance
Intemperance Preservation and Restoration LLC
WAIVE COMPETITIVE BIDDING: The Department seeks to waive competitive bidding because multiple contracts are to be awarded from one procurement effort and because price was not the only deciding factor in awarding the contracts.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for these contracts are allocated from the Land Management Fund ($550,000).
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested in order to continue ongoing property maintenance activities for the Columbus Land Bank Program.
