R2005-92 ACCEPTING THE BID AND AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT

Home Browse Search

. � y. '. This project was put together with alternate bids for asphalt or concrete pavement to replace the existing concrete pavement. A broad approach to evaluating the contrasting pavement sections suggests that concrete pavement will have a useful life approaching 40 years. The pavement design for asphalt will have a useful life approaching 20 years to which an additional 15 to 20 years can be added through the application of a 2" asphalt overlay at around the 20 year point. The $46,461.82 added cost for concrete over asphalt will be worth the added cost over the 40 year estimated life span of the pavement. Staff recommends the selection of the concrete alternate for the reconstruction of the Country Manor subdivision pavement. Beniach Construction Company, Inc. provided the low bid for the proposed work. Staff recommends that the City Council approve a contract with Beniach Construction Company, Inc., to construct a concrete pavement in the Country Manor subdivision. The bids received for this project have provided an opportunity to increase the curb and gutter replacement on the project to 100% as opposed to 25% - 30%. This increase in curb and gutter removal would be in the form of a Council authorized change order which will add $45,000.00 to the project. The complete replacement of the curb and gutter will provide a better overall project and will still be within the budgeted expenditure for Country Manor street work. A second project is proposed for this subdivision in Fiscal Year 2007 that will complete the street reconstruction work in the rest of the neighborhood. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this resolution and bid award.
