Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc. for pavement restoration at Fire Station 15 located at 1800 E. Livingston Avenue. This project will restore the driveway and parking lot pavement. The project scope includes concrete pavement replacement, storm sewer upgrades, and restriping.
The Department of Finance and Management, Office of Construction Management, solicited bids which were formally advertised. On June 24, 2021 the city received two (2) response (0 AS1, 0 FBE, 0 MBE,) as follows:
Company City FBE/MBE Amount of Bid
Newcomer Concrete Services, Inc. Norwalk EBOCC Withdrawn
Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc. Gahanna EBOCC $2,044,165.00
Newcomer Concrete Services, Inc. had a low base bid of $1,197,000.00. Due to errors and omissions on their bid, Newcomer Concrete Services, Inc. has voluntarily withdrawn their bid from consideration.
Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc. submitted a bid of $2,044,165.00. This bid was processed to allow for alternate cost proposals. Alternate cost proposals provide a base bid amount along with project add-ons that can be chosen by the City which allows for flexibility in terms of selecting a proposal that meets budgetary and timing constraints. The full bid was over budget, however, so the Office of Construction Management will accept the competitive base bid only for the alternate submitted for Fire Station 15 of 1-$265,000, Allowance 2-$10,000.00 and contingency of $50,000.00. The Office of Construction Management therefore recommends the bid award be made to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder, Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc.
Columbus Asphalt Paving, Inc. Contract Compliance No. 31-0857095, expiration date November 4, 2021.
Emergency action is requested so that the construction work can be completed prior to the asphalt plants closing in November.
