CASE # '703 CONSIDER AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CITY PROJECT #08 -34, THE BITUMINOUS PAVING OF 151 AND 152 AVENUES, AND FLUORINE STREET By: Tim Himmer, City Engineer Background: On January 12, 2010 City Council authorized staff to prepare plans and specifications for the bituminous paving of 151 and 152 Avenues, and Fluorine Street. This project was initiated by a resident petition and will include the paving of an existing dirt street and the installation of storm sewer. The project also includes the acquisition of required right -of -way to facilitate a roadway connection of 152 Avenue through to Helium Street. Observations: This project will construct a 28' wide bituminous roadway, centered in the existing 66' right -of- way. The pavement sections consists of a 4" class five granular base, 2" of base course, and 1 '/2" of wear course; which section has been established as the minimum paving standard for existing City streets. The design also includes the installation of both bituminous and concrete curb; with the concrete curbing located within the MEADOWS subdivision to the west for consistency and bituminous curbing in all other locations. Bids for this project will be received and opened on Friday, September 10 at 10:00 am, and forwarded to the Council via the ftp site and /or e -mail. The information will also be presented at the meeting on September 14 for Council consideration. Funding: The engineer's opinion of probable construction costs is $305,000, with financing provided as follows: $114,000 from the City (taken from the 2010 annual Street Maintenance Budget) $91,000 from the Storm Water Utility $4,000 from the Water Utility Fund $96,000 from property assessments $305,000 For many reasons this total is higher than what was included in the feasibility study for the project. There is a need for substantially more storm sewer than was shown in the original estimate due to existing site conditions that were discovered during the collections of field work. The final numbers, once bids are received, will need to be reviewed for compliance with City Charter and State Statutes should they deviate significantly from what was originally proposed. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council award a contract for City project 908 -34, the bituminous paving of 15 1 St and 152 nd Avenues, and Fluorine Street, to XXX in the amount of $XXX.
