(A) METRA ADMINISTRATION BUILDING ROOF REPLACEMENT ? RFB NO. 10-0012



It is requested that Council authorize the execution of a construction contract

with M Jordan Roofing, Inc., in the amount of $65,015.00 for roofing services

at the Metra Administration Building. M Jordan Roofing, Inc., will remove and

discard the existing SPUF and T & G roofs and install new tapered installation,

additional wood blocking and a 60 mil TPO roof system, complete with new metal

flashing and coping.



Bid invitations were mailed to fifty-nine vendors, and specifications were

posted on the web page of the Purchasing Division. A mandatory pre-bid

conference/site visit was held on October 6, 2009; fifteen vendors were

represented at the conference/site visit. Bid submittals were received from

seven vendors. This bid has been advertised, opened and reviewed. The bidders

were:



VENDORS TOTAL BID

Ben Hill Roofing & Siding Co. (Douglasville, GA) 67,555.00

*Whitney Company and Peach State Roofing either failed to acknowledge receipt

of Addendum No. 1, which included a new bid form and additional specifications,

failed to include the required contract pages and/or failed to submit pricing

in the revised bid form. Therefore, the vendors? bids are deemed incomplete;

the Purchasing Division submitted written notification to the vendors.







Funds are budgeted in the FY10 Budget: Transportation Fund - METRA FTA -

Capital Expenditures over $5,000; 0751-610-2400-MFTA-7761; (City 10%; Federal

(B) EMERGENCY DREDGING SERVICES FOR WATERSHED LAKE NUMBER 12 (CHARTER OAKS

LAKE) AND LAKE OLIVER



It is requested that Council approve payment to Aquatic Solutions (Newnan, GA),

in the amount of $125,000.00, plus payment for any unforeseen contingencies,

for emergency dredging services at Charter Oaks Lake ($100,000) and Lake Oliver

($25,000).



The vendor will be in Columbus to dredge Lake Oliver, a second time, since they

are involved in correcting damages that occurred when the Water Works water

tank ruptured and sent silt into the lake. A portion of the dredging cost

charged to the Lake Oliver work will be paid via an insurance settlement award.

Additionally, the Engineering Department has been directed by the City

Manager's Office to prepare to dredge watershed lake number 12 (Charter Oaks

Lake); and install protective devices on the discharge pipe riser in an effort

to allay any future flooding issues in the area. The Engineering Department

has determined that the vendor?s processes and procedures used previously at

Lake Oliver, are ideal for meeting the City?s needs at Charter Oaks Lake.



The work needs to commence no later than the week of December 7th. Therefore,

the emergency services were approved by City Manager on November 18, 2009.



Funds are budgeted in: Capital Projects Fund ? Sewer Fund Supported Projects ?

Professional Services ? Charter Oaks Watershed;

0508-660-2000-CPSF-6311-21097-20090 and Capital Projects Fund ? General Fund

Supported Projects ? Professional Services ? Lake Oliver Marina Maintenance;

0508-660-1000-CPGF-6311-22910-20100.

(C) EMERGENCY AQUADAM INSTALLATION AT WATERSHED LAKE NUMBER 12 (CHARTER OAKS

LAKE)



It is requested that Council approve payment to East Coast Aquadams (Easton,

MD), in the amount of $65,000.00, plus payment for any unforeseen

contingencies, for the emergency installation of an aqua dam at Charter Oaks

Lake.



An aqua dam is a protective device that can be installed in deep water and

around various structures thereby allowing the enclosed area to be pumped dry

of water. This procedure will allow access to the riser so that city

maintenance crews can install trash racks on the riser pipe. Furthermore, this

operation will allow needed corrective measures to take place without draining

the lake. This work is also in conjunction with the emergency dredging needed

at Charter Oaks Lake. The Engineering Department wishes to utilize East Coast

Aquadams because the vendor specializes in this type of work.



The work needs to commence no later than the week of December 7th. Therefore,

the emergency services were approved by City Manager on November 18, 2009.



Funds are budgeted in: Capital Projects Fund ? Sewer Fund Supported Projects ?

Professional Services ? Charter Oaks Watershed;

0508-660-2000-CPSF-6311-21097-20090.

(D) E911 800MHZ PLANT INTEGRATED RADIO SYSTEM CONSOLE MAINTENANCE

AGREEMENT AND CENTRAL ELECTRONICS BAY



It is requested that Council authorize the payment to Motorola, in the amount

of $29,751.60, for the annual Maintenance Agreement (October 2009 through

September 2010) for the E911 Plant Integrated Radio System Console Equipment

and Central Electronics Bay.



The Police Department (through the E911 Center) and Sheriff?s Office uses

Motorola Console equipment to dispatch the various Public Safety Units

throughout the City as they are needed. This equipment is a critical part of

Public Safety communications system. It has, since the initial warranty

expired, been covered by a comprehensive 24/7/365 maintenance agreement with

Motorola in order to assure rapid and accurate repairs and minimal down time.

This maintenance agreement also covers the bi-directional amplification system

that provides a back up to the console system and allows the 911 Center to

continue to operate should the console equipment stop working. This

Maintenance Agreement will insure that the City receives complete and cost

effective support of this equipment and allows the City to control the

operating costs associated with the console equipment.



The E911 Radio System and its various components were originally purchased from

Motorola. Therefore, the vendor is the only known source able to provide the

maintenance service.
