RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Council approves Addendum No. 1 consisting of revisions to the plans and specifications for the FY 19 Pavement Rehabilitation and Preventive Maintenance Project and adopts the attached resolution (Attachment II) awarding the contract for the project to O’Grady Paving Inc., in an amount not-to-exceed $5,471,000.
SUMMARY
The FY 2019 Pavement Project calls for the rehabilitation and preventive maintenance of thirty-eight City street sections (Attachment III). The proposed improvements will repair failed pavement sections and improve street surfaces.
On January 15, 2019, the project received six bids. All bids were significantly less than the engineer’s estimate. At $4,064,057, the low bid received is $1,147,088 below the engineer’s estimate and provides an opportunity to add other street section(s) to take advantage of the reasonable unit prices. Because the amount budgeted for the project was based on the engineer’s estimate and exceeds the bid for the proposed rehabilitation and preventive maintenance of thirty-eight City street sections, staff is requesting that additional work to Hesperian Boulevard, from Industrial Parkway to the City limits, be added to the project. This additional work has been valued at $1,406,943 and makes up the difference between the bid the City received and the contract amount proposed of $5,471,000.
Staff recommends award of contract to the responsible low bidder, O’Grady Paving Inc., in the amount of $5,471,000.
The project budget of $6,696,000 is funded via the Gas Tax, Measure B, Measure BB, Vehicle Registration Fee, and Road Repair and Accountability Act (SB1) funds.
