Council Meeting

Agenda Report # 84





TO: Mayor and Councilors



SUBJECT: Purchase Authorizations



INITIATED BY: Finance Department





(A) REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR CLAFLIN SCHOOL ? RFP NO. 14-0002



It is requested that Council authorize the execution of a lease agreement with

Friends of Historic Claflin, Inc. (Columbus, GA) for the redevelopment of the

Claflin School. Friends of Historic Claflin will redevelop and reuse this site

by preserving the architecturally significant elements of the building,

ensuring compliance with the deed restrictions and honoring the associated

African American history.



The initial term of the lease agreement shall be for eighteen (18) months, with

the option to renew for an additional 3? years. The initial contract period

will allow Friends of Historic Claflin to accomplish phases II and III of the

proposed restoration schedule. If phases II and III are successfully completed

within the 18-month period, the agreement will be extended for an additional 3?

years to allow Friends of Historic Claflin to accomplish phases IV, V and VI of

the proposed restoration schedule. During the initial agreement period and the

subsequent 3.5 year period, Friends of Historic Claflin must stabilize and

secure the building, as well as, maintain the landscape of the property.



In 1868 the property on which the current Claflin School sits was deeded to a

group of trustees for the specific purpose of developing a school. A deed

restriction was placed on the property ensuring that, should the school

district cease utilization for educational purposes, title of the property

would revert to the Mayor and City Council, and should the Mayor and City

Council fail to utilize it for educational purposes, then the title would

revert to the United States of America.



The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands (the ?Bureau?) was given

the authorization in the same deed to erect a school on this site. The Bureau

did construct a school on the site and, as a result, the site is a part of the

City of Columbus? Black Heritage Trail.



The original school burned and what you see today was built in the mid 1900?s.

Even though the school is not original to the site, the main building that

faces Fifth Avenue is still historic and maintains historical architectural

features that must be preserved. Preserving the back building is optional.



On November 19, 2012, the Muscogee County School District issued a Notice of

Abandonment. This relinquished the school district?s interest in the Claflin

school site. On January 22, 2013, the Columbus City Council agreed to accept

the property for a period of 12 months. Staff was charged with utilizing the

12 months to find a viable use for the property that would follow the deed

restrictions.



On August 5, 2013, request for proposals postcards were mailed to seventeen

(17) vendors and RFP specifications were posted on the web pages of the

Purchasing Division and Georgia Procurement Registry. The RFP was advertised

and opened. One proposal was received by Burt Development Company (Albany, GA)

but the developer ultimately decided not to pursue the project due to the

restrictions and the structure of the building.



A public meeting was held on April 22, 2014 to determine if there was

additional public interest in developing the property. At the public meeting,

a group of citizens requested the City retain ownership of the property for an

additional six (6) months to allow the public the opportunity to pursue

alternatives to develop the property.



Per Resolution No. 171-14, dated May 27, 2014, the City retained ownership of

the Claflin School property for an additional period of six (6) months and

established a new proposal due date of November 26, 2014. One proposal was

received on November 26, 2014 from the following offeror:



Friends of Historic Claflin, Inc. (Columbus, GA)



The proposal was reviewed by the Evaluation Committee, which consisted of

representatives from the City Manager?s Office, the City Attorney?s Office, the

Finance Department and the Public Works Department. A representative from the

Community Reinvestment Division and the Planning Department served as

non-voting advisors.



The City?s Procurement Ordinance Article 3-110, Competitive Sealed Proposals

for the procurement of Equipment, Supplies and Professional Services, governs

the RFP Process. During the RFP process, there is no formal opening due to the

possibility of negotiated components of the proposal. In the event City

Council does not approve the recommended offeror, no proposal responses or any

negotiated components are made public until after the award of the contract. A

delineation of Friends of Historic Claflin?s proposal and projections have been

submitted to the City Manager in a separate memo for informational purposes.



Funds generated by this lease will be deposited into: General Fund ? Government

Wide Revenue ? Rental/ Lease Income; 0101-099-1999-REVN-4878.

(B) CHIPPER TRUCK ? NATIONAL JOINT POWERS ALLIANCE (NJPA) CONTRACT



It is requested that Council approve the purchase of one (1) Chipper Truck

[2015 Ford F750 Extended Cab Air Auto] from Altec Industries, Inc.,

(Birmingham, AL) in the amount of $82,920.00, by cooperative purchase via

National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) Contract #031014-ALT.



An essential chipper truck (VMO 10292) was taken out of service a few months

ago due to non-availability of parts for repairing the wiring harness. It was

salvaged and sold in the last City auction. The user unit had to shut down a

crew that cleans up debris on job sites after major storms. The chipper truck

serves an important role in the removal and cleanup process. The vehicle will

be used by the Urban Forestry & Beautification Division of the Public Works

Department. This vehicle is being purchased via NJPA, rather than the normal

bid process, due to the urgent need for this replacement vehicle.



The purchase will be accomplished via Request for Proposal (RFP) Contract

#031014-ALT, initiated by the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), whereby

Altec Industries, Inc., was one of the successful vendors contracted to provide

Public Utility Equipment with Related Accessories and Supplies. The contract,

which commenced May 1, 2014, is good through April 30, 2019, with an option to

renew for a fifth year at the discretion of NJPA. The National Joint Powers

Alliance is a Service Cooperative created by Minnesota Statute 123A.21. This

statute was created in 1978 and revised in 1995 to allow participating

governmental and municipal agencies to reduce the cost of purchased goods by

leveraging their combined purchasing power. The bid process utilized by

National Joint Powers Alliance meets the requirements of the City?s Procurement

Ordinance; additionally, cooperative purchasing is authorized per Article 9-101

of the Procurement Ordinance.



Funds are budgeted in the FY15 Budget: Paving Fund ? Public Works ?

Right-of-Way Maintenance ? Heavy Trucks; 0203-260-3120-ROWM-7723.

documentation updates, Users Group Support and Hotline Support for the OASIS

property tax and appraisal system. Maintenance has been budgeted and approved

annually since the OASIS software system was purchased in 1985. The vendor is
