SUMMARY
The FY20 Pavement Improvement Project calls for the rehabilitation of fifty-nine street sections and preventive maintenance of fifty-two street sections for a total of 111 street sections (Attachment III). This project will pave forty-two lane-miles of streets. Overall, the City is responsible for the maintenance of 657 lane-miles of roadway. The proposed improvements will repair failed pavement sections and improve street surfaces.
On April 14, 2020, the project received seven bids. All but one bid was over the engineer's estimate. At $9,406,497, the low bid received is $650,503 or 6.5% below the engineer's estimate and provides an opportunity to add other street sections to take advantage of the available budget and reasonable unit prices. Staff will use the cost savings to include additional streets to the project.
Staff recommends award of contract to the responsible low bidder, DeSilva Gates Construction LP, in the amount of $11,000,000, including potential administrative change order.
The project budget of $12,045,000 is funded via the Gas Tax, Measure B, Measure BB,
