Meeting Date: 07/26/2016 By: Bruce Westby,Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution 416-07-133 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Improvement Project 916-00 Division Al,Crackscal and Sealcoat Improvements Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution 416-07-133 accepting bids and awarding a construction contract for Improvement Project 916-00 Division Al, Crackscal and Sealcoat Improvements. Background: As part of the city's long-term Street Maintenance Program,numerous miles of city streets receive crackseal and sealcoat improvements each year to help maximize their life expectancy. Crackscaling 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,thereby reducing future pavement damage due to wet subgrade soils, especially as a result of freeze-thaw cycles. Scalcoating streets helps protect pavement from the negative effects of stormwater runoff,ultraviolet rays from the sun, and oil based by-products that are deposited on pavement surfaces by vehicles. In 2016 a total of$500,000 was budgeted for non-assessable street maintenance program activities including crackseal and sealcoat improvements. The City Council previously awarded one construction contract to Pearson Bros. Inc. in the amount of$260,521.76 to crackseal and sealcoat 10.87 miles of City streets in 2016. The total project cost, including construction costs plus 14% for indirect costs covering administrative,engineering, finance and legal fees, is therefore estimated to be $296,995. And approximately$18,000 is proposed to be spent using the same $500,000 to complete temporary pavement repairs to concrete street segments within The COR(a permanent concrete pavement rehabilitation project is being researched). This leaves approximately$185,005 to fund a second 2016 crackseal and sealcoat improvement project. On June 28th,2016,the City Council approved advertising for bids for a second 2016 crackseal and sealcoat project. To meet open bidding law requirements,the soonest bids could be opened was Friday, July 22nd,the day after this case was published. This case therefore does not include specific bid result information,and will need to be pulled from the City's web site,updated with bid results, and posted again on the afternoon of July 22nd. Notification: Advertisements for bids were published in the City's official newspaper,the Anoka County Union Herald,and in Finance and Commerce,on July 1 st and July 8th. Observations/Alternatives:
