PHASE ONE
It is requested that Council authorize the execution of change order two for
storm drainpipe rehabilitation at Cherokee Avenue, with Insituform
Technologies, Inc. (Chesterfield, MO), in an amount not to exceed $110,000.00.

Distributors, Inc., via Georgia Statewide Contract, SWC-40733, on an ?as needed
basis?. The Police, Sheriff and Marshal Department will wear the body armor
for protection. Other Public Safety Departments may also purchase the body
armor.
After receiving unsatisfactory bids for the annual contract for Body Armor, a
comparison was made with the State contract. It was determined that purchasing
via Georgia Statewide Contract would be more advantageous to the City due to
the quality of body armor offered and cost savings.
Georgia Statewide contracts are approved for use by local governments, and meet
the requirements of the City?s Procurement Ordinance.
Funds are budgeted each fiscal year for this on-going expense: Various Public
Safety Departments - Operating Materials; 6728.

(E) QUALITY GROWTH GRANT REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENT
It is requested that Council approve the reimbursement payment for the Quality
Growth pass-through grant to MidTown, Inc., in the amount of $17,000.00. The
resolution that authorized the Quality Growth Grant (Resolution #597-02) did
not authorize the payment of pass-through grant funds to the sub-recipient, who
was financially responsible for the implementation of this grant project.
The City of Columbus applied for the Quality Growth Grant on behalf of a
collaborative consisting of: the City, the Historic Columbus Foundation, the
Community Foundation, Lower Chattahoochee RDC, and other partners. The
collaborative created the Steering Committee for the MidTown Project, which
subsequently became incorporated as MidTown, Inc. The purpose of the grant was
to provide financial assistance for the cost of developing a comprehensive
25-year plan for the MidTown community. This cost ultimately became the
responsibility of MidTown, Inc., and therefore, the reimbursement must be
passed through to MidTown, Inc., as the sub-recipient.
Funds are budgeted in the FY07 Budget: Multi-Government Project Funds ?
Finance ? DCA Local Assistance Grants ? Aid to Other Agencies;
0216-200-4111-DCA-9307.

(H) DUMP TRUCK RENTAL SERVICES FOR PUBLIC SERVICES
It is requested that Council approve payment to Yancey Brothers, in an amount
not to exceed $100,000, for weekly dump truck rental services.
As a result of a corrective action directive from EPA, Public Services must
rent a dump truck to move dirt to cover the landfill. The corrective action is
required to be performed as expeditiously as possible. Consequently, in August
2006, Public Services requested quotes from vendors to provide weekly dump
truck rental service. Quotes were received from the following vendors:
Volvo Rents $2,000 Per week
Yancey Brothers $2,850 Per week
Rental Service Co. No Quote
On the first day of service from Volvo Rents, the low quoted vendor, the truck
broke down and could not be replaced for a number of weeks. Therefore, the
department began utilizing the next lowest quoted vendor, Yancey Brothers. The
vendor was to have billed weekly since it was unknown how long the services
would be required. The vendor began billing monthly and the department has
been working with the vendor to obtain the billing on a weekly basis. It has
taken to this date to get the vendor to bill on a weekly basis. However, in
the interim, invoices have accumulated totaling $59,850.00. It is estimated
that the truck will be needed for approximately 4 more weeks and the total cost
should not exceed $100,000.
Funds available in the FY07 Budget: Integrated Waste Management Fund ? Public
Services ? Pine Grove Landfill ? Equipment Rental/Lease;
0207-260-3560-PGRO-6543.

develop and design exhibits for the ?Ma Rainey? House based on the vendor?s
knowledge and expertise developing historic exhibits.
Per Resolution #85-04, the City of Columbus applied for the Federal Save
America?s Treasure Grant in the amount of $149,000.00 to rehabilitate ?The
Mother Of the Blues? Ma Rainey House. Matching funds in the amount of $151,000
