A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT
OF $1,333,381.56 TO LAFARGE NORTH AMERICA, AND SETTING FORTH
$200,000 FOR CONTINGENCIES FOR FY 2005 ASPHALT STREET
RESURFACING PROJECT (OVERLAY) AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING

ISSUE
Should the City Council enter into a contract with LaFarge North America for
$1,333,381.56 for street resurfacing.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
A vital element of the City's ongoing street maintenance program includes resurfacing.
Under this contract 210 blocks of City streets will be resurfaced with approximately one -
inch thickness of asphalt.
The streets included in this year's project were selected through a process that takes into
account the condition of the street, logical grouping to reduce mobilization costs, and
input from utility companies on future pipe line renewal projects. These streets generally
have extensive cracking and a rough uneven surface.
Prior to the new overlay, the City Streets Division will repair areas that exhibit sub -base
failure. Streets that have a build up of asphalt at the gutter from prior year overlays will
be milled down.
The City will follow the Colorado Department of Transportation guidelines concerning
the installation of ADA curb ramps at intersections that receive street resurfacing. These
guidelines require curb ramps whenever the resurfacing thickness exceeds 1.5 ". Since
the City's resurfacing program specifies a 1.0" overlay, no ADA curb ramps will be
included in the project.
A list of the streets included in this year's project, along with a copy of the bid summary,
is attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project will come from the following sources:
Highway User Trust Funds (CP0209) $ 1,466,982.00
Wastewater Utility Funds for Manhole Adjustments $ 55,000.00
Stormwater Utility Funds for Manhole Adjustments $ 11,400.00
TOTAL $ 1,533,382.00
