CC - Item 4H - Plans for Asphalt Concrete Overlay• • TO: FROM: BILL CROWE, CITY MANAGER KEN RUKAVINA, CITY ENGINEER DATE: JANUARY 19, 2006 RE: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS FOR ASPHALT CONCRETE OVERLAY ON VARIOUS STREETS Attached, for the City consideration for approval and authorization to advertise for bids, are the plans and specifications for the subject project. The project includes an Asphalt-rubber overlay on various City streets, as shown in Exhibit "A", as well as miscellaneous concrete repairs and installation of handicapped access ramps in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) where needed. The proposed schedule for construction is as follows: Receive Bids Award contract Begin Work Complete Work February 17, 2006 February 28, 2006 March 27, 2006 April 28, 2006 The specifications have been reviewed and are acceptable to the City Engineer. Construction of the project is currently funded by Gas Tax funds. The Engineer's estimate for construction based on current material costs is $665,395.00. At the time the project was first proposed, the estimated construction cost was $375,000.00. The construction cost increase is due to the extraordinary increase in material costs due to high oil prices, natural disasters and foreign demand. Insufficient funds exist in unappropriated Gas Tax reserves to fund the entire project as originally proposed. Therefore, it is recommended that only a limited number of streets be overlayed at this time. Thus, the project will be bid as a whole, but with the priority streets comprising a base bid upon which the project will be awarded. If funds are available based upon the unit prices bid additional streets can be added to the project. The streets comprising the base bid are listed in Exhibit "A".
