Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into contract with Double Z Construction Company for the Dublin Road Erosion Repair project and to provide payment for construction, construction administration and inspection services.
A Mayor’s Emergency letter was issued on March 10, 2021, to establish a contract with Double Z Construction Company for construction services in an amount of up to $76,542.00. The Department of Public Service will provide the administration and inspection services in an amount of up to $13,458.00 for a total amount of $90,000.00 needed for the repair. Significant erosion along Dublin Road due to large flood events forced the closure of the right eastbound lane. The erosion continues to worsen and is encroaching on the pavement. The erosion could soon expose a 36’ water main if not resolved before heavy spring rain, necessitating the need for an emergency repair.
Searches in the System for Award Management (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against Double Z Construction Company.
2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
The contract compliance number for Double Z Construction Company is CC005966 and expires 6/10/2021.
3. PRE-QUALIFICATION STATUS
Double Z Construction Company has met code requirements with respect to pre-qualification, pursuant to relevant sections of Columbus City Code Chapter 329.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $90,000.00 is available and appropriated within Fund 7704, the Streets and Highways Bond Fund. An amendment to the 2020 Capital Improvements Budget is needed to match cash and to transfer budget authority to the proper project. A transfer of funds and appropriation between projects with Fund 7704 are necessary to align funding with the proper project.
5. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to make repairs to Dublin Road as quickly as possible to protect public infrastructure and ensure public safety.
