Meeting Date: 07/14/2015 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution #15-07-173 Accepting Bids and Awarding a Contract for 2015 Street Maintenance Program Division A, Sealcoat Improvements; Improvement Project #15-00 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to accept bids and award a contract for Division A of the 2015 Street Maintenance Program, sealcoating improvements. Background: As part of the city's long-term Street Maintenance Program, various city streets receive cracksealing and sealcoating improvements each year to help maximize the life expectancy of street pavement sections. Cracksealing streets helps prevent stormwater runoff from seeping through cracks in the pavement and through joints between the pavement and concrete curb and gutter and/or utility castings, reducing the potential for future pavement damage due to wet subgrade soils and frost heaving. Sealcoating streets helps protect the pavement from the negative effects of stormwater runoff, the sun's rays, and oil based by-products deposited on the surface of the pavement by vehicles. The 2015 Street Maintenance Project proposes to crackseal and sealcoat approximately 12.8 miles of public streets located throughout the City. Attached are Exhibits A through E which show the locations of all streets proposed to be improved with Division A of the 2015 Street Maintenance Program. Bids were opened on July 9th. A total of two bids were received, and were checked for errors and omissions. The bid of Pearson Brothers was adjusted to account for a math error in the alternate bid category.. A tabulation of the bids, including adjustments, is below. CONTRACTOR BASE BID ALT. TOTAL BID BID Pearson Brothers, Inc. $248,685.50 $6,810.62* $255,496.12* Allied Blacktop Company $288,250.69 $7,317.94 $295,568.63 Engineer's Estimate $262,286.92 $14,871.04 _ $277,157.96 — * = adjusted bid price The bids included an alternate bid to allow Staff to employ and evaluate two new pavement maintenance treatments this year as part of the Division A improvements. The alternate treatments include the use of Traprock on a small area of the project instead of the more costly granite rock that has typically been used for sealcoating streets. Several other cities have started using Traprock on all their streets therefore staff wishes to evaluate the effectiveness of Traprock on the streets identified in Exhibit E. The second alternate treatment includes fogsealing
