BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
As part of the 2013 Bond Program, Klein Road, from FM1044 to Walnut Avenue, was assessed and approved for reconstruction. This project is approximately 2 miles of total reconstruction and widening to include up to 4 travel lanes, dedicated turn lanes, new curbs, shared use paths, and improvements to the existing underground drainage network. A Competitive Sealed Proposal was released by the City on December 20, 2017 and 8 sealed bids were publicly opened and read aloud on February 1, 2018. An internal review was completed on each submission and they were scored based on the cost, relevant experience, schedule, and financial capacity. Based on this criterion, J3 Company, with the submission of $7,162,922 was found to be satisfactory.
In addition to the base bid approval, staff recommends a 7% contingency in the amount of $501,404; a service contract for third-party materials testing with Raba Kistner Consultants in the amount of $124,428; as well as an increase to Trihydro Corporation design contract for additional services that include ROW survey/exhibits, drainage calculations, landscape improvements and underground conduit layout and specifications in the amount of $93,145.
