AWARD BIDS FOR 2008 PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION By: Steven J. Jankowski, City Engineer PERTAINS TO CASE #3 Background: Bids were opened on Friday, June 6, 2008 for the 2008 Street Maintenance Program and the results are presented below: Division A Bid Allied Blacktop Inc. $419,367.05 ASTECH Corp $424,309.20 Pearson Brothers Inc $528,936.55 Division B Bid Hardrives Inc. $288,793.85 Knife River $289,975.98 ASTECH Inc. $304,949.47 North Valley Inc. $309,744.40 Northwest Asphalt Inc. $311,541.78 W B Miller Inc. $336,417.85 The rising oil prices have affected the bid prices for the 2008 Street Program. Division A unit prices exceeded those contained in the feasibility study as follows; 19 % higher for sealcoat oil; 17% higher for crackseal material; and 7 % higher for cover aggregate. Division B unit prices are between 8 to 12 % higher than for bituminous (which represent 90% of the bituminous overlay project cost). The feasibility study included an 8 % contingency allowance for overages as a part of the project overhead costs. Attached to this case is a revision of Table 5 of the feasibility study showing the individual project costs utilizing the bid prices received and applying the 8% contingency to the overhead cost (utilizing 17% overhead versus 25% in the feasibility study). The rightmost column of attached Table 5 shows the increase in individual assessments over that proposed in the feasibility study, which is 7% for sealcoats and between 1% and 4% for overlays. With the elimination of IP 08 -06 there will be sufficient monies available to finance the City's share of this project which is now estimated to be $326,167. A total of $412,900 was budgeted for the 2008 Program. However, the remaining balance of $86,733 would not be sufficient to cover the City's share of IP 08 -06 if that overlay project were to be considered later in the construction season as had been considered earlier.
