It is requested that Council approve the negotiations and final contract with

Renaissance to provide Innovative Sports Educational Component Workshops.



The firm will provide instructors to teach workshops that are designed to allow

Parks and Recreation the opportunity to further expand the concept of

specialized programs. The firm will provide introductory, skill developments,

intermediate and advanced level workshops based on the needs of the

participants at various Parks and Recreation locations.

18 years on topics as outlined by Parks and Recreations.



The term of this contract shall be for two years, with the option to renew for

three (3) additional twelve-month periods. Contract renewal will be contingent

upon the mutual agreement of the City and the Contractor.



Request for Proposal specifications were posted on the City?s website and

advertised. One proposal was received February 24, 2006 from the following

offeror:



Renaissance (Columbus, GA)



Proposal was reviewed by the Evaluation Committee members, which consisted of

representatives from Parks and Recreation. During the evaluation process,

Renaissance was deemed responsive to the RFP. 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

process of an RFP there is no formal opening, due to the possibility of

negotiated components of the proposal. In the event Council does not approve

the recommended offeror(s), no proposal responses or any negotiated components

are made public until after the award of the contract. If Council does not

approve the recommended offeror, the RFP will be re-advertised and a new

process will begin. The cost information has been submitted to the City

Manager in a separate memo for informational purposes.



The program will be funded each fiscal year for this on-going expense through

the youth services contractual line item in the Parks and Recreation Budget:

per load. The City generates approximately 20,000 waste tires (20 loads)

annually. The contractor will remove and properly recycle waste tires

generated at the City?s landfill. A cost for oversized tires is included in

the bid, however, the City rarely has oversized tires in the landfill.



The contract is for a period of two years, with the option to renew for three

additional twelve-month periods. Contract renewal will be contingent upon the

mutual agreement of the City and the Contractor.

(C) UPGRADE OF THE LOGGING SYSTEM FOR 911 TELEPHONE CALLS AND 800 MHz RADIO

TRAFFIC



It is requested that Council approve the purchase of an upgrade to the PYXIS

Logging System from Motorola in the amount of $12,875.00. The PYXIS system is

interfaced to the E911 Telephone System and 800MHz radio consoles. This

upgrade will allow for the recording of additional radio channels and telephone

calls in the 911 Center?s Report Office.



The PYXIS Logging System is the digital recording system that is currently used

in the 911 Center to record all 911 telephone calls and Public Safety radio

traffic. State Regulation requires recording of 911 telephone calls and Public

Safety radio traffic. This system allows the Police Department to perform

quality checks on the calls made to the 911 Center and helps to facilitate the

investigation of complaints about calls. The system is also used to record two

of the five telephone lines in the Report Writing Office, which is located in

the 911 Center. The Report Writing Office takes low priority calls from Patrol

Officers so they are available for higher priority calls. The radio recordings

are also used during the investigation of complaints, but most importantly

allows the Dispatcher to play back any radio traffic to help insure Officer

safety. Several departments, including: Animal Control, Sheriff's Department,

Fire and EMS Services, along with the Police Department, use radio traffic

recordings. The current PYXIS System is operating at full capacity. The

requested upgrade to the current system would allow for the recording of

sixteen more telephone lines or radio channels.



Motorola is the only known source for this upgrade due to the

inter-connectivity with other Motorola systems that are already in use in the

911 Center.



Funds are budgeted in the FY06 Budget: Emergency Telephone Fund - Police ?

E-911 Communications Center ? Capital Expenditures Over $5,000; 0209-400-3220-

E911-7761.

(D) MEDIUM-DUTY CUTAWAY BUS (ANNUAL CONTRACT) ? RFB NO. 06-0058



It is requested that Council authorize the annual contract to purchase

Medium-Duty Cutaway Buses, from International BusGroup, Inc. This is a

five-year contract. The unit cost, per bus, for the first two years will remain

firm at $95,543.00, with price adjustments allowed for any federally mandated

diesel engine emission changes. METRA expects to purchase approximately nine

buses during the term of the contract; three buses will be purchased during

FY06.



The medium-duty cutaway buses are replacement units for the existing cutaway

buses used for the Dial-A-Ride program. These vehicles will be used to

transport disabled customers who are unable to utilize the fixed route service

in the Muscogee County area.



The term of contract shall be for two (2) years, with option to renew for three

(3) additional twelve (12) month periods. Contract renewal is contingent upon

the City and the Contractor.



Thirty-eight bid invitations were mailed. One bid was received on March 1,

2006. This bid has been advertised, opened and reviewed. The bidder was:



Unit Cost

BusGroup (College Park, GA) $95,543.00



*National Bus Sales & Leasing, Inc., submitted a letter, dated March 1, 2006,

stating they were the Georgia state contracted vendor to provide Goshen buses.

However, after evaluation of State Contract specifications, METRA found that

the buses offered by National Bus Sales & Leasing, Inc., do not meet METRA?s

requirements.



Funds are budgeted in each fiscal year for this on going expense,

is based on various tree and stump sizes, and the services will be utilized on

an "as needed" basis. The Public Services Department has budgeted

approximately $100,000.00 for these services.



The vendor will remove trees and stumps, at various locations within the City,

which are in hazardous conditions and could pose a serious liability for the

City.



The contract term will be for two years, with the option to renew for three

additional twelve-month periods. Contract renewal is contingent upon the

mutual agreement of the Contractor and the City.



Bid specifications were posted on the City?s website. One bid was received on

(G) CHANGE ORDERS FOR ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES

REQUIRED FOR THE VETERANS ROAD WIDENING PROJECT



It is requested that Council authorize the execution of Change Orders 1, 2 and

3 for additional engineering services from Jordan, Jones and Goulding, in the

amount of $461,400, for the widening of Veterans Parkway. Resolution No.

560-03 authorized the execution of the contract with Jordan, Jones and Goulding

to provide engineering services for the Veterans Parkway Widening Project to

accommodate the opening of Northside High School. The requested change orders

will include the design plans needed for the widening of Veterans Parkway from

Old Moon Road to Turnberry Lane.



A synopsis of the change orders is as follows:



Original Initial Contract Value (Resolution #560-03) $400,000.00

Change Order #1: Design Change from Rural to Urban 324,000.00

Change Order #2: Design work for Veterans Between Old Moon Road to Cooper Creek

88,600.00

Change Order #3: Design to accommodate a 3-lane section from Moon Road to

Cooper Creek Road 48,800.00

New Contract Value $861,400.00



An explanation of each change order is described below:



The initial concept was for the Veterans widening project was to be designed as

a rural section, with no curb or gutters. Use of this particular design

requires a wider right of way, and has potential for greater impact on

adjoining property owners. After looking at the initial design for this

project, it was determined by the City and DOT that an urban design for the

roadway would produce a better project. This would have less impact on the

adjoining property owners and accommodate future growth needs in the area.

However, moving to this design doubled the engineering costs, due to the

requirements for greater detail needed for the design work. The completion of

this design work for the entire project is scheduled for June, 2006, where it

will then be submitted to DOT for review and construction. The first change

order addresses the additional cost of $324,000 needed to complete this work.



The second change order addresses the request for $88,600 for design work on

Veterans Parkway between Old Moon Road to Cooper Creek Road. An attempt was

made by the City to accelerate this section of the roadway, in order to

accommodate the Muscogee County School District in its efforts to open its new

elementary school in this area in August. The concept was to build the

necessary laneage needed at the City's expense ($3,000,000 estimated) in order

to meet this timetable. Plans were drawn for this section, but it was

determined that too much right of way, at the City's expense, would have to be

acquired, and that the proposed timetable would not accommodate the School

District's needs. Further, DOT announced that they could schedule the

construction of the entire roadway within 12 to 18 months, upon the submission

of the plans in June, saving the City approximately $3,000,000 in construction

costs and right of way acquisitions.



The third change order is to develop design plans to accommodate a three-lane

section from Moon Road to Cooper Creek Road, in order to meet the immediate

needs of the school district. This action will allow for the connection of the

new roadway that will service the new elementary school. Without this

connection, traffic conditions will continue to disintegrate in this immediate

area. Estimated cost for this roadway improvement is $1,400,000. The change

order request is for $48,800. The design plans for this construction are

expected to be completed the first week in April.
