Re: Resolution 35-09 -Avery-Muirfield Drive over U.S. 33 Barrier Improvements Project
Summary
On July 27, 2009, three (3) bids were received, publicly opened and read for the Avery-Muirfield
Drive over U.S. 33 Barrier Improvements Project. Staff has reviewed all bids. The Engineer's
estimate was $730,000. Funding for this project is provided through the annual Capital
Improvement tax fund. The Righter Company submitted the lowest and best bid of $694,299.50.
The bids are listed below:

Enginccr's Estimate
Righter Company $694,299.50 -4~9%
Complete General Construction Co. $698,748.50 -4.3%
Double Z Construction $741,685.00 -1.6%
This project was previously advertised for bid, with a bid opening on June 22, 2009. At that
time, the City received only one (1) bid for this project in the amount of $756,176.00. As a
result, it was decided by staff to reject the one bid as staff could not verify that the City had
received the lowest and best bid. The City Manager reported this action to City Council at the
July 1, 2009 meeting. Subsequently the project was re-advertised for bid, with bids being
opened on July 27, 2009.
This project will provide steel-backed timber guardrail behind the bikepaths along the east and
west sides ofAvery-Muirfield Drive, north and south of the Avery-Muirfield Drive bridge over
U.S. 33, with connections to rebuilt concrete bridge parapet walls. The existing stone walls
located at the corners of the U.S. 33 ramps will be reconstructed with curvature following the
roadway radii to allow for proper connection of the guardrail ends. The guardrail extending from
the stone walls east along the ramps will be deep-beam steel guardrail. All the newly installed
guardrail, whether timber or steel, will be painted a wolf grey color. The Ohio Department of
Transportation (ODOT) has thoroughly reviewed these improvements and approved them
through the issuance of alimited-access right-of--way permit.
At least one bikepath along Avery-Muirfield Drive in the project area will be open at all times
during construction. Traffic on Avery-Muirfield Drive will be maintained during construction.

However, between the times of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on weekdays, one lane of traffic on
Avery-Muirfield Drive in the project area maybe closed. All U.S. 33 ramps will remain open to
traffic with no intended closure throughout the project duration. The project completion date is
November 20, 2009.
A general location exhibit is attached for reference. Additionally, a copy of the Avery-Muirfield
Drive over U.S. 33 Barrier Improvements Project construction drawings has been placed in the
Council conference room for your reference and review.
Staff has thoroughly reviewed the Righter Company bid and has found it to be complete.
Previous City experience with the Righter Company has been favorable, including the 2004
Clover Court Channel Improvements project.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 35-09 accepting the bid of the Righter
Company in the amount of 5694,299.50 as the lowest and best bid and authorizing the City
Manager to enter into a contract with the Righter Company.
