ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Public Works with a Request to APPROVE the Low BID of J.C. DILLON, INC., and Award a CONTRACT, in an Amount Not to Exceed $200,000.00, from the Base Bid of $41,276.40, for the CONCRETE REPAIRS CONTRACT - 2023. (All Council Districts)
Body
BACKGROUND: Public Works proposes a concrete repair contract similar to the annual storm sewer repair contract. A similar contract was used in 2014 (14-325), 2016 (16-216) and 2021 (21-263). This contract would eliminate the delays experienced waiting for the design, bidding, letting and Council approval of individual contracts for each project.
Repairs may include improvements to pedestrian facilities, traffic-calming projects and other concrete repairs. The repairs will be designed "in the field" and paid based on the time and materials bid. This is an opportunity for the Public Works Engineering Division to limit design costs and be more responsive to the needs of our community.
Public Works prepared the contract specifications, and bids were received on March 23, 2023, with two bids received, as follows:
Contractor Total Bid
J.C. Dillon $41,276.40
Horowitz Concrete $47,144.00
Engineer's base estimate: $55,000
The base bid represented quantities we would expect to see on three small projects and covers typical pay items we expect to see throughout the contract. Traffic Calming requests continue to be processed. In addition, this contract will be used for concrete repairs at various facilities. In order to address as many requests as possible, staff recommends increasing this project to $200,000.00. Staff expects to spend $100,000.00 in 2023 and $100,000.00 in 2024 with a contract extension.
J.C. DILLON, INC. is a local business that has successfully performed work for the city in the past.
