Re: Resolution No. 37 -12 - Hirth /Wolpert Dublin Road Culvert
Improvements Bid Acceptance
Background
On June 19, 2012, two (2) bids were received, publicly opened and read for the Hirth/Wolpert
Dublin Road Culvert Improvements project, which involves the removal and construction of a
concrete box culvert and retaining wall.
The Engineer's estimate was $340,000.00. The funding for this project is from the Permissive Tax
Funds. Kwest Group, LLC submitted the lowest and best bid of $308,573.43. Staff has reviewed
all bids and a summary of the bids is listed below.

For Council's reference and review, a reduced set of project construction drawings has been placed
in the Council Planning Room.
Staff anticipates the construction to commence in late July. Dublin Road will be closed to traffic at
the culvert location for the duration of the construction. The detour route will be Tuttle Road,
Frantz Road and Rings Road. The scheduled completion date for the project is October 19, 2012.
Recommendation
Staff has thoroughly reviewed the Kwest Group, LLC bid. Although this contractor has not worked
for the City of Dublin in the past, they did provide a listing of similar projects. Staff has contacted
representatives of these projects at Jackson Township (near Grove City), the City of Findlay and
Toltest, Inc., and received favorable references.
Staff therefore recommends approval of Resolution No. 37 -12 accepting as lowest and best the bid
of Kwest Group, LLC in the amount of $308,573.43 and authorizing the City Manager to enter into
a contract with Kwest Group, LLC for this project.
