1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract through the City’s RFP process with Korda/Nemeth Engineering in the amount of up to $800,000.00 for the Operation Sidewalks - School Sidewalks - Hilltop project.
The intent of the RFP is to provide the City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, with continuing, contractual access to additional resources that are necessary to perform professional engineering and survey services as well as provide technical expertise for the Department to implement sidewalk projects to provide improved pedestrian access to schools. The Operation Sidewalks - School Sidewalks - Hilltop project will install sidewalk along residential streets surrounding West High School, Highland Elementary School, and West Broad Elementary School.
The Department of Public Service initiated a Request for Proposals for the Operation Sidewalks - School Sidewalks 2018 project. One RFP was issued for three projects (Near South, Hilltop, and Eastland) with the intention of awarding the three projects to three companies. The project was formally advertised on the Vendor Services web site from July 16, 2018, to August 16, 2018. The city received twelve (12) responses. All proposals were deemed responsive and were fully evaluated when the Evaluation Committee met on August 31, 2018.
