TITLE
A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE

$145,412.00 FOR CONTINGENCIES FOR PROJECT NO: 08 -009 FY 2008

AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING AGENT TO EXECUTE THE SAME
ISSUE
Should the City Council enter into a contract with LaFarge West, Inc., for
$969,413.40 for street resurfacing (overlay).
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
A vital element of the City's ongoing street maintenance program includes
asphalt overlay. Under this contract 87 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.
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 Highway Users Tax Fund, Project Number
CP0209.
