BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The McQueeney Road project was approved as part of the 2023 Bond Citywide Streets program. The project included a mill and overlay with base repair and sidewalk gap completions. The project was design by ESP, Inc. and a construction award with Dean Word Company was approved on November 12, 2024. The contracted work was completed in February 2025. After construction of the project, an engineering review and an ADA assessment were completed. It was determined that an additional handrail should be added as a safety measure in locations where the sidewalk and adjacent drainage structures present fall risks and that modifications to a commercial driveway are required to meet the ADA slope requirements of the walking path. Because the original construction contract did not include these items, it was determined that it would be more efficient and cost effective to hire a separate contractor to complete the additional work. Sullivan Contracting Services submitted a proposal of $46,877.43 to complete this work under the Choice Partners purchasing cooperative, which satisfies the requirement for a competitive bid. Staff recommends approval of an additional construction contingency of $5,000.00 for a total approval of $51,877.43.
ISSUE:
Continue an ongoing program of infrastructure construction and maintenance.
