TITLE
A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT
OF $48,620.45 AND SETTING FORTH $26,000 FOR CONTINGENCIES FOR 2001
CROSSPAN REPLACEMENT
ISSUE
Should the City Council award a construction contract for 2001 Crosspan Replacement to
Vertex Concrete, for $48,620.45.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
This project will replace settled, broken or deteriorated concrete crosspans at various
locations in the city. The locations are chosen from a list of complaints that have been
prioritized according to their severity.
The low bid submitted by Vertex Concrete was significantly below the next highest bid
(see attached "Bid Summary "). The owner of the company, Mr. Richard Carlyle, was
approached by the construction engineer after the bids were opened to review the bid and
to request confirmation that his company could perform the work at the bid unit prices.
He was also given the opportunity to withdraw his bid with the consequence of forfeiting
his bid bond. Mr. Carlyle chose to honor his bid proposal and was confident that his
company could do the work at the unit prices quoted in his bid.
The amount originally budgeted for this project was $75,000. The overage ($26,000) will
be used for contingencies and to extend the contract to include additional locations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for this project will be provided from the Capital Improvement Fund.
