ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Public Works with a Request to ACCEPT the LOW BID of HOROWITZ CONCRETE, and Award the Construction CONTRACT in the Not to Exceed Amount of $170,000.00 for the 2015 HARRISON IMPACT ZONE SIDEWALKS PROJECT.
Body
BACKGROUND: The Harrison Impact Zone projects were initiated in 2011. The projects have primarily included sidewalk and ADA Ramp reconstruction in the two-block radius around Harrison Learning Center. The first phase of sidewalk reconstruction took place in 2011 with sidewalks on Grinnell Street and areas adjacent to the Harrison Learning Center. In 2012 and 2013, sidewalks and ADA ramps were reconstructed, along with the Folkers Avenue project, on Krause Avenue, Augustana Avenue, Grinnell Street, Arlington Avenue, Griswold Street, Oregon Street, and Montana Street. The 2013 and 2014 contracts were combined into a single contract to reconstruct sidewalk and ADA Ramps along Hayes Street. The Impact Zone projects are not subject to the cost-share policies as would apply to Sidewalk Participation or Sidewalks In Need of Repair Programs.
The 2015 Harrison Impact Zone Sidewalk Project will reconstruct sidewalks along portions of Seibold Street, Meidroth Street, Trewyn Avenue, Hayes Street, and Folkers Avenue. (See attached Location Map.)
