BACKGROUND:
The 2014-2015 Street Maintenance Project consists of three distinct phases of work:
Phase 1: Parkway and Concrete Repair Project — includes localized repair of damaged
curb, gutter, sidewalk, cross -gutters, driveways, and new sidewalk construction.
Phase 2: Street Rehabilitation Project — includes asphalt concrete mill and overlay of the
roadway.
Phase 3: Slurry Seal Project — includes application of a surface coating and sealing of
the roadway.
Concrete improvements located within the City's parkways and streets require ongoing repair and
maintenance due to age, maturing trees, soil conditions, water intrusion, and traffic loads. This
contract is part of the Parkway Improvement Phase of the work. The locations identified for repair
are prioritized based on pedestrian and handicap traffic and the severity of the damage. The list
of parkway improvement locations within the scope of work of this contract is included as
Attachment 1".
The scope of work under this contract consists of localized reconstruction of curb and gutter;
cross gutter and spandrels; sidewalks; driveway/driveway approach; and other work needed to
complete the project in accordance with the contract documents.

ANALYSIS:
The overall scope of the 2014-2015 Street Maintenance Project includes the removal and
reconstruction of damaged pavement sections, milling and overlaying with new asphalt, and
reconstruction of damaged parkway improvements over the project limits. Part of the work also
includes the application of a slurry seal pavement coating, and the replacement of traffic
markings, striping, and traffic control. The scope of this contract covers the reconstruction of
damaged parkway improvements over the project limits in coordination with the Parkway and
Concrete Repair phasing of the work. The contractor is required to complete all of the tasks
necessary to perform the work as outlined in the contract documents.
The City Clerk received and opened fourteen (14) bids for this project on February 17, 2015.
Global Power Group, Inc. was the apparent low -bidder with a bid proposal of $759,358.70. The
Engineer's estimate was $803,450.00; and the average of fourteen (14) bids received
amounted to $1,019,834.88. An analysis of the bids indicates that this apparent low bidder
submitted a proposal that is approximately five percent (5%) lower than the Engineer's
estimate. The variance between the low bidder and the Engineer's estimate may be attributed to
the highly competitive conditions prevalent in the construction industry at this time. The Bid
Abstract is included as Attachment "2".
The license and references of Global Power Group, Inc., were checked and staff has found them
to be in good standing.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The alternative to this Council action would be to reject all of the bids and rebid the project. If the
bids are rejected, the City would need to cancel this project. Staff believes that re -advertising and
rebidding the project will not result in lower bids. Canceling the project is not recommended
because the identified locations are in immediate need of the proposed maintenance work.
FISCAL REVIEW:
Funding for this project has been budgeted with the use of Gas Tax funds and Capital
Improvement Funds.
