(A) ANNUAL PURCHASE CONTRACT FOR 800 MHz RADIOS



It is requested that Council approve the continuation of an Annual Purchase

contract for 800 MHz radios via Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) purchase

contract number 980-010-510015 from Motorola, Inc. The radios will be

purchased on an ?as needed basis? for various City departments. The contract

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

with Southeast Environmental Contracting, Inc., in the amount of $2,788,625.00

for the construction of cells 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E and 3F of Pine Grove Landfill.



The Project consists of the following major elements: approximately 357,000

cubic yards of cut material; 72,000 cubic yards of structural fill; placement

of 24-inch thick liner base with permeability not to exceed 1 x 10-7 cm/sec,

and placement of either a 24-inch thick leachate collection layer with a

permeability no less than 1 x 10-2 cm/sec or placement of geonet and 24-inches

over 14 acres; the construction of 1,400 feet of 24-foot gravel access road;

construction of a sediment basin; installation of erosion control devices;

installation of underdrain and leachate collection piping; and leachate pump

station and force main.



Per Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 06-0001, seven vendors submitted

applications to pre-qualify to bid on this project; six vendors were

pre-qualified. Bid responses were received from four (4) pre-qualified bidders

on December 21, 2005. This bid has been advertised, opened and reviewed. The

bidders were:



Southeast Environmental Contracting, Inc. (Hahira, GA) $ 2,788,625.00

(C) IMPROVEMENTS TO FIRE TRAINING CENTER ? RFB NO. 05-0088



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

with Jernigan Builders, Inc. (Phenix City, AL), for the estimated amount of

$52,000, for repairs to the concrete burn building of the Fire Training Center.

Additions or deductions to the scope of work will be $17.10 per square foot for

repairing concrete spall areas and $17.10 per linear foot for repairing

concrete cracks.



Jernigan Builders? bid amount is based on repairing approximately 40 square

feet of concrete spall on the existing structure and 3,000 linear feet of

existing concrete cracks. During the pre-bid conference / site visit, the

original architect advised that the successful contractor would not be able to

ascertain the exact condition of the building until the contractor actually

begins the work, due to the fact that the concrete structure may have interior

cracks that are not visible.



One hundred fifty bid invitations were mailed. A mandatory pre-bid conference

/ site visit was conducted on June 13, 2005; two vendors attended. A bid was

received from Jernigan Builders, Inc., on July 13, 2005. This bid has been

advertised, opened and reviewed.

(D) EMERGENCY STORM PIPE REPLACEMENT



It is requested that Council authorize the execution of an emergency

construction contract with Kam, Inc. (Columbus, GA), in the amount of $51,500,

for storm pipe replacement at the easement of 5344 Kennedy Street.



The damaged storm pipe at 5344 Kennedy Street has caused the driveway to become

unstable and in danger of collapsing. The total repair of the pipe will

require two major operations. One will involve the replacement of the concrete

pipe sections that have separated, the repair of existing damaged concrete

driveway, and the construction of a concrete structure at the pipe outfall

located at a drainage ditch at the rear of the properties. The other operation

will include the lining of the entire length of the pipe to add stability to

the line. Rather than removing the entire line and relaying a new line, the

above-described methodology should result in significant savings. Therefore,

the City Manager determined that the situation warranted an emergency

procurement for the repairs.



Kam, Inc., was selected because the firm recently completed emergency pipe

repair services at Dorsey Drive. Obtaining formal bids will cause significant

delays in repairing the storm pipe, which will increase the risk of

considerable damage to adjacent properties.



Funding is available in the FY06 Budget, Sewer Fund Supported Capital Projects

? Contingency ? Drainage Pipe Rehabilitation;

0508-660-2000-CPSF-9801-20770-20040-0.

(E) REFUSE BODIES ? RFP NO. 06-0001



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

Consolidated Disposal Systems, Inc., (Smyrna, GA), to provide three (3) refuse

bodies.



The refuse bodies will be mounted on cab and chassis and will be used by the

Solid Waste Collection Division to pick up household garbage throughout the

City. The trucks are replacement units.



This RFP has been advertised and evaluated. The following vendors submitted a

proposal on September 16, 2005:



Consolidated Disposal Systems, Inc. (Smyrna, GA)

Heil South (Austell, GA)

Mark Equipment (Austell, GA)

Municipal Equipment Sales



The proposals were reviewed by the Evaluation Committee, which consisted of

voting representatives from the Fleet Maintenance, Cemeteries and Solid Waste

Collection Divisions of the Public Services Department. The Committee also

included a representative, serving in an advisory capacity, from the Fleet

Maintenance Division. The committee deemed Consolidated Disposal Systems,

Inc., most responsive to the RFP specifications.



The City?s Procurement Ordinance, Contracting for Equipment, Supplies or

Professional Services, per Article 3-110, 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. The cost information and

evaluation results have been submitted to the City Manager in a separate memo

for informational purposes.



Funds are budgeted in FY06 Budget, Integrated Waste Management Fund ?

Integrated Waste Supported Capital Projects ? Heavy Trucks ? Vehicle

Replacement; 0207-660-4000-CPIW-7723?20710-20040.
