BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
As part of the 2013 Bond Program, multiple streets throughout the City were assessed and approved to be included into the Proposition 1 City-Wide Street Improvements plan. Projects in this program could include: mill & overlay of pavement, curb repair/replacement, sidewalk repairs, and concrete diamonds around meter boxes and manholes.
A Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) was released by the City on October 6, 2017 and a total of six bids were received and read aloud on November 6, 2017 at City Hall. An internal review was completed on each of the submissions and they were each scored based on the cost, relevant experience, schedule and financial capacity. Based on this criteria, J3 Company, Inc with the low bid of $1,757,254.19, was found to be satisfactory with no-exceptions taken regarding their formal bid submittal.
In addition to the base bid approval, also included for approval is a seven percent project contingency of $123,007.79 and materials testing services in the amount of $28,580.00, for a total of$1,908,841.98.
